While the industry continues navigating the transition to lower-GWP refrigerants, today’s market can make a good deal look like a lifeline. But when the price is far below market value, distributors should pause and ask: Who manufactured the product? Where did it come from? Can the supplier verify what is inside the cylinder?

Those questions are becoming more relevant as this landscape has created opportunities for bad actors to move counterfeit, mislabeled, or illegally imported product into the market.
