PartagerRefrigerant contamination
In its "White Paper: Reports of R134a Contaminated with R40 and Other Refrigerants”, AHRI suggests that in addition to R40 and R22, R142b, R152a, and R12 have also been found mixed with R134a in newly filled refrigerant cylinders marked as containing R134a.

AHRI maintains that the problem with counterfeit and contaminated refrigerants goes beyond just R134a; other refrigerants, including R22, R404A and R410A, have also been found to be counterfeit and in some instances badly contaminated.
