features a proprietary set of additives that protects R-1234yf from breaking down.
* Schrader International's Universal Valve Kits feature a variety of seal materials that match the refrigerants and oils speciﬁed by
each OEM. Contact your Schrader representative to verify seal material compatibility.
* Compressor +, a new reconditioning additive from Errecom SRL, can be safely added into a new compressor's lubricant to incorporate and neutralize contaminants, ensuring optimum operating efﬁciency.
* Extreme Ultra, a gas leak sealant from Errecom SRL, permanently seals refrigerant gas leaks up to 3 mm in both R-1234yf and
R-134a systems. Its formulation reduces compressor noise and is harmless to recovery units.
