Refrigeration Technologies

Keep your systems clean, sealed, and running efficiently with Refrigeration Technologies, the makers of Viper™ coil cleaners and Nylog™ sealants. Developed by a former HVAC technician, these chemistries are formulated to be safer for the user, non-corrosive to equipment, and NSF-registered for use in food service environments.

What is Nylog™ Blue and how do I use it?

Nylog™ Blue is a viscoelastic gasket and thread sealant made from synthetic refrigeration oil. It creates a flexible, hydraulic seal that prevents high-pressure refrigerant leaks. It is fully compatible with all HFC, HFO, and CO2 refrigerants and will not clog systems or harm compressors, making it the industry standard for preventing callbacks on flares and threaded connections.

Are Viper™ Coil Cleaners safe for indoor use?

Yes. Viper™ Heavy Duty and other Viper coil cleaners are non-toxic, non-corrosive, and produce no fumes, making them perfectly safe for indoor use. Unlike harsh acid or alkaline cleaners, Viper uses enzymes and degreasing agents to break down biofilm and dirt without eating away at aluminum fins or requiring a heavy rinse.

What does NSF Registered mean for HVAC chemicals?

Many Refrigeration Technologies products, including Viper Pan & Drain Treatment and Big Blu™ Leak Detector, are NSF Registered. This means they are certified as safe for use in and around food processing areas, which is a requirement for working on walk-in coolers, ice machines, and restaurant equipment.

Why choose Big Blu™ over other leak detectors?

Big Blu™ is a micro-leak detector solution that forms strong, long-lasting bubbles even on tiny leaks that other soaps miss. Its high viscosity ("sticky") formula clings to vertical surfaces, giving you time to inspect complex piping assemblies thoroughly.
