Technically speaking, "Freon" is a trademark used by the Dupont corporation for their line of refrigerant products. It's come to be a standard, however, much like "Xerox" has to the copy industry.

What is the difference between R-22 (freon) and R420(aka Puron, Environ, etc...)?

Frequently Asked Questions
R-22 is the common name for hydro-chlorofluorocarbon (HCFC). R-22 has been used as a refrigerant by HVAC manufacturers for over 40 years, but studies in the past decade have shown that HCFCs contain chlorine, an ozone-depleting agent. For this reason, the United States Clean Air Act has set a target date for January 1, 2010, on which HVAC manufacturers must cease the production of products that use R-22.

Is R-22 Freon really being phased out?

Heating & Cooling Frequently Asked Questions by Vertex Mecha...
Yes. The Clean Air Act of 1990 mandated a complete phase-out of R-22 and in 1996 a production cap was placed on its production. In 2004 production of R-22 was cut by 25% and the manufacture of R-22 compatible equipment will be prohibited after 2010. Production of R-22 will be banned completely in 2020. The replacement is a much more environmentally friendly chemical, R-410A. During the summer months, set your thermostat back during the day when you are not at home.

What will happen to metered dose inhalers now that freon propellants have been banned?

Asthma - Sinusitis - WS Tichenor M.D.
Chloroflorocarbons (also known as CFC's or generically as freon) were no longer produced after 1996 due to the fact that they destroy ozone, which protects us from the sun's ultraviolet rays. CFC's are the propellant used to provide the jet of spray in the metered dose inhalers. The FDA has grandfathered the MDI's so that they can continue to be used for the present time, but that will not last long.

How can I dispose of old appliances that contain Freon and/or chlorofluorocarbons (CFC's)?
