Reclamation
EPA Certified
Certified reclamation under EPA Section 608 — refrigerants meeting AHRI 700 specifications.
New & reclaimed

New or reclaimed. Same standard.

We supply both new and reclaimed refrigerant — and AHRI 700 holds them to the exact same purity specification. Same molecule, same spec, same lab test behind every lot. The source doesn't change what's in the cylinder; the EPA's own rules even define reclaimed as reprocessed "to virgin specifications." So choose on price and availability, not on a label — whichever you pick, it meets the number.

New for 2026

As of January 1, 2026, any HFC refrigerant sold or labeled as "reclaimed" must meet EPA's federal reclamation standard — no more than 15% virgin HFC by weight — certified, labeled, and backed by batch-level records from an EPA-certified reclaimer. SDS is an EPA-certified reclaimer, so when we sell reclaimed, it ships certified and labeled to that standard. With federal rules pushing reclaimed HFCs into more applications through 2029, and states like California, Washington, and New York running their own HFC programs, certified reclaim is fast becoming the baseline — not the exception.

Know your source

No responsible party? No way.

Counterfeit and illegally imported refrigerant is turning up across the U.S. supply chain — cylinders dressed to look like trusted brands, with contents that don't match the label. The tell is on the label: federal hazard-communication rules require a responsible party — the name, address, and phone of the company standing behind the product. Fakes don't carry one. And "100% virgin R-22"? None has been legally produced or imported in the U.S. since 2020 — so that claim is either old stock or illegal.

Every cylinder SDS ships is marked with its responsible party and lot number — with a COA and chain of custody on file, available on request. If you can't find the RP, walk away.

How to spot illegally imported refrigerant

  • No responsible party listed on the box or label
  • Patented refrigerants offered as "generic"
  • A price that's too good to be true
  • "100% virgin" on a refrigerant no longer manufactured (e.g., R-22)
  • Missing DOT/UN cylinder markings or an expired requalification date
  • No batch code, manufacture date, or CAS number
  • Packaging that mimics a known brand — but the details are off
  • Spelling or grammar errors on the label — e.g., "rerillable" for "refillable"
  • Can't produce a COA or chain of custody
  • Seller can't show EPA import allowances or verify your 608 certification
  • Cylinder shows tampering — dents, repainting, mismatched welds
No RP · No warranty

The risk isn't just regulatory. When we test refrigerant we suspect was illegally imported, it comes back with high moisture, high non-condensables (air), and high acid — the contaminants that kill compressors.

Need a custom charge? We'll load it.

Most suppliers only fill to standard cylinder weights. We don't have to. If your system calls for a specific design charge, we'll weigh that exact amount into the cylinder — 875 lb in a 1,000 lb cylinder, whatever you need. Just ask.

The desk

We reclaim what we sell.

SDS Refrigerant Services is a full EPA-certified reclamation operation on the Delaware River in Philadelphia. We recover, separate, test, and reclaim refrigerant in-house — so a purchase from us is a purchase from the people who ran the numbers.

As new refrigerant production steps down and older gases leave the market for good, reclaimed refrigerant is what keeps the installed base running. We track the phasedown schedule and the allowance market so our customers don't get caught short.
