Because the sealer works by reacting with moisture in ambient air, it also can produce clumps that restrict refrigerant flow, if there's enough moisture in the system. In addition, the seal sweller in some sealing products could distort some O-ring materials.
Several makers of refrigerant recycling equipment, including RTI, have reported problems with plugged solenoid valves. Skye has experienced problems with excessive swelling of 0ring seals. At this time, we've seen bulletins from Skye, RTI, Visteon, Ford, Delphi Harrison, Four Seasons and NAPA warning about voided warranties if there's evidence of sealer use.
