Has anyone tried this product?

The website claims the stuff in enviromentall safe:
Yes! Glacier Gold is an "ENVIRONMENTALLY SAFE" organic, non-toxic, non-ozone depleting hydrocarbon compound. Glacier Gold is a hydrocarbon refrigerant and has been endorsed by GreenPeace. It is in full compliance with the UN Montreal Protocol. Like most organic materials Glacier Gold is flammable, but its ignition temperature is 1585ºF at both 5 psi and 0 psi (which is better than the DuPont R-134a's ignition temperature of 368ºF at 5 psi and 1411ºF at 0 psi). Nevertheless, a pine odor has been added to the product so that any leak in a refrigeration system can be readily detected. To locate the precise origin of a leak, it is recommended that a hydrocarbon detector be utilized. Most mid and higher priced conventional leak detectors will detect hydrocarbon refrigerants. In the alternative, either soap bubbles or Glacier Gold Dye-Charge can be used. Glacier Gold Dye-Charge is both visually detectable and responsive to black light. In a safety study, the prestigious Arthur D. Little scientists concluded that hydrocarbon refrigerants pose no significant increased risk or hazard over Freon.

I think its butane based or some other hydrocarbon close to it... not sure.

 

Have you heard of freeze 12? That's good stuff and is completely compatible with freon.

 

Butane or propane probably, But a great idea... I would consider using it if I needed a re-fill on the R-12

 

rxseven,

Freeze 12? never heard of it... do uhave a link for it?

 

Icemark,
would you be worried about the fact that you would have highly compressed butane or propane under the hood? i mean if it ever leaked or you ever got into an accident...

 

I have heard of this stuff, but I still have one last can of R12, so I had not looked it up yet. Thanks for the info, we will all be needing it soon enough..
Bill

 

Propane/butane=BOOM

why don't you just remove the a/c and make your car go faster?

 

My AC doesn't work ohh well never use it any way. When I get some spare time that brick is coming out same goes for the air pump.

 

Butane is pretty common as a cheap refrigerant, so no I wouldn't be concerned, as well as It appears as if that really is the base refrigerant that they are using anti-inflamitants. The ester base oils that they require is kind of a dead give away.

I have something 100 times more flammable under the hood already... its called Gasoline.
