R-12 refrigerant can cost between $30 to $50 per pound, but prices can vary depending on the supplier and location. Since R-12 is a restricted refrigerant due to its ozone-depleting properties, availability may also be limited.
R12 (dichlorodifluoromethane) can decompose into phosgene and HF (hydrogen fluoride). R22 (chlorodifluoromethane) can decompose into phosgene and HF as well. Both reactions can occur under high temperature or in the presence of a catalyst.
Refrigerants such as R12, R502, R22, R134a, and newer blends contain either chlorine or fluorine and will hydrolyze with moisture or water forming hydrochloric or hydrofluoric acids and more water. Which makes motor windings deteriorate, metal corrosion and sludge which is a mixture of water acid and oil. Hope this helps, Scott
When R12 and R22 gas decompose at high temperatures, they can form phosgene gas, hydrogen fluoride, and other toxic byproducts. These byproducts can be harmful to human health and the environment, highlighting the importance of proper handling and disposal of refrigerants.
R10-(flammable) is the lowest flammabilty hazard - R11-Highly flammable and R12 Extremely flammable are greater hazards.
R1 - Explosive when dry. R2 - Riskof explosion by shock, friction, fire or other sources of ignition. R3 - Extreme risk of explosion by shock, friction, fire or other sources of ignition. R4 - Forms very sensitive explosion. R5 - Heating may cause an explosion. R6 - Explosive with or without contact with air. R7 - May cause fire. R8 - Contact with combustible material may cause fire. R9 - Explosive when mixed with combustible material. R10 - Flamable. R11 - Highly Flamable. R12 - Extremely Flammable. R13 - Extremely Flammable liquified gas. R14 - Reacts violently with water.

R48 - Danger of serious damage to health by prolonged exposure
You do not as R134a is what is approved for that car. If you could find R12 it would cost you near $100.00 a pound.
The cost of R12 varies a great deal. The use of R12 is illegal in some places and requires certification in others. It is estimated that a pound of R12 currently costs approximately $20 US dollars.
It doesnt matter the only available refrigerant is R134a and if you have an R12 system it must be retrofitted R134 is about $20 a pound and R12, if you can find it, is about $150 a pound
The type of refrigerant that an E 34 needs is R12 refrigerant. It is absolutely necessary that you do not put any other type of refrigerant into a R12.
It came with R12 Freon. As R12 is cost prohibitive, have the unit converted to R134a refrigerant or a similar substitute.
r12 is the original refrigerant on a 1993 model year Prizm r12 is the original refrigerant on a 1993 model year Prizm
None, the refrigerant is R134a not Freon which is R12.
It came from the factory with R12. Due to the high cost of R12, I would have it converted to R134.
The original freon (refrigerant) in the 1989 Dodge Dynasty's was R12. The amount of R12 it was supposed to use was 32 ounces. R12 freon is no longer available because of environmental concerns. Most such systems were converted to use R134 or R134A refrigerant, which is much less efficient in terms of cooling. Another type of refrigerant that is still available (which is better than R134) is called Envirosafe.

Well, R12 is, yes.
