Hi everyone, been doing some research on refrigerants and came across a drop in substitute for R12, R406a. However I cannot locate anywhere to purchase this R406a. From what I can tell, there was a product called "Autofrost" which was R406a that people could buy for some time but it looks like all that is available now is just expensive small quantities on eBay, like R12. Does anyone know what happened? Here's a write-up someone did about 15 years ago on their R406a install on a Camaro:

Also here is a scientific write up on the chemical:

I'd love to be able to locate a 30lb cylinder of the stuff.
Thanks
