At Ecolink we believe there is no “silver bullet” replacement for the phase out of HCFC-141b. Therefore, we offer a broad range of 141b alternatives for your consideration — each with pros and cons. We present a summary of these options below.
Each of these Ecolink products may playa role in your HCFC-141b replacement strategy. We recommend consulting with Ecolink regarding your operations and applications before selecting an environmentally-preferred alternative.
In addition to the products shown below, we have several new technologies planned for release during 2001. Please contact us to discuss these Ecolink products and how they can be used to replace HCFC-141b.
