New Bar’s Leaks Professional A/C Stop Leak & Sealer seals most minor air conditioning leaks and protects against future leaks. The product is the latest addition to the Bar’s Leaks Professional DiFM line designed specifically for professional technicians.

"Not only is the bad economy causing people to keep their vehicles longer than they have in the past, but many folks also have less money to spend on vehicle maintenance and repairs," explains Jim Moffitt, vice president of sales and marketing for Bar’s Products, manufacturer of Bar’s Leaks. "The most common problem with air conditioning systems is leakage. Our new A/C Stop Leak & Sealer enables technicians to repair system leaks at a price more of their customers can afford."

Bar’s Leaks Professional A/C Stop Leak & Sealer uses a special non-clogging formula that contains no particles, solids or polymers that can plug up the orifice tube and other parts of the air conditioning system. It also won’t clog refrigerant recovering equipment.

Bar’s Leaks Professional A/C Stop Leak & Sealer works based upon the Venturi effect. When there is a small leak in the system, the refrigerant and some of the stop leak material escape through the leak at an accelerated speed. As the liquids escape, the pressure below that point drops, enabling the stop leak to coagulate and form a non-hardening flexible seal at the leak site. This happens because the vapor density of the stop leak is more than twice that of the refrigerant. It is also aided by contact with oxygen at the leak. Because the seal stays flexible, it can expand and contract with temperature changes.

Bar’s Leaks Professional A/C Stop Leak & Sealer permanently seals leaks in the condenser, evaporator, O-rings, gaskets and hose connections. Special synthetic oil seal conditioners keep O-rings and gaskets flexible and prevent them from drying, hardening and shrinking, which is one of the most common causes of refrigerant leaks. The product also acts as a lubricant for all moving parts inside the air conditioning system.

The UV dye in Bar’s Leaks Professional A/C Stop Leak & Sealer can help technicians identify leaks not found by a visual inspection, as well as shaft seal leaks or leaks too big for the product to seal. The dye glows when illuminated with an ultraviolet UV light (black light).

"Our A/C Stop Leak & Sealer is the perfect product for technicians to use to fix hard-to-find air conditioning system leaks and leaks that would require expensive mechanical repairs that may be out of their customers’ budgets — or even exceed the value of the vehicle," Moffitt says. "Use it with every A/C service as an added level of insurance against customer come-backs."

Bar’s Leaks Professional A/C Stop Leak & Sealer is compatible with all types of automotive Freon, including R-12 (Dichlorodifluoromethane), R134a (1, 1, 1, 2 Tetrafluoroethane) and other alternative refrigerants. It should not be used in hybrid vehicles with electric A/C compressors running ND11 oil.

One two-ounce bottle of Bar’s Leaks Professional A/C Stop Leak & Sealer will treat an average air conditioning system that holds up to five pounds of Freon. It is sold in case packs of six. Like all Bar’s Leaks products, Professional A/C Stop Leak & Sealer is made in the USA.
