Mexichem joins fight against illegal refrigerants
R
efrigerant manufacturer and supplier Mexichem has become part of a new communications group for the European Fluorocarbons Technical Committee (EFCTC). EU regulation of individual HFC quotas has been instrumental in the fight against climate change. However, this has also triggered a rise in unlawful imports, with restrictions being bypassed by criminals and illegal gases making up more than 20 percent of the quota and exceeding the EU’s HFC cap.
Mexichem has joined the EFCTC’s efforts, launching its own campaign to warn the industry of the consequences of partaking in this trade. The penalties for usage of illegal HFC product include fines, criminal prosecution, damage to equipment and a long-lasting impact on any participating company’s reputation, not to
mention potential injury, or even fatality, to users.
The EFCTC’s programme to fight these imports includes an action line which allows individuals to report alleged suspect HFC offerings confidentially to a trusted and independent contractor. It is hoped that this programme will enable authorities to access to a more detailed picture of the supply chain. Signs that a HFC product could be illegal include an unknown brand name, no quality certificate or safety data sheet (SDS), no cylinder return process or a price too low to market. Mexichem’s Klea refrigerants are supplied to major manufacturers and a large share of the after-market servicing sector across commercial refrigeration, automotive and stationary air conditioning applications.
