The sale of new or imported HCFCs has been banned in many countries due to their ozone-depleting properties. However, existing supplies can still be used for servicing existing equipment until alternatives are available. Efforts are being made to phase out the use of HCFCs in favor of more environmentally friendly alternatives.
