DuPont warns about fake refrigerants

摘要

DuPont Refrigerants is asking members of the HVACR industry to look out for counterfeit refrigerants. "This problem is real and it is growing, and the impact can include significant injury and tragic loss of life," said Greg Rubin, global business manager at DuPont Refrigerants. "Counterfeit refrigerants also have the potential for significant business impact, especially in emerging regions." In 2011, DuPont continued its efforts to combat counterfeit activity. This included petitioning to remove Internet listings of fake refrigerants, conducting investigations, training customs officials, assisting law enforcement in conducting raids and seizure of refrigerant goods in multiple regions, and establishing product identification methods and technologies of DuPont-branded refrigerants.
