Arizona is one of 18 states that has banned the use of flammable refrigerants, which includes ES12 however. Oddly enough California has not.

The following 19 states ban the use of flammable refrigerants such as HC-12aŽ and DURACOOL 12aŽ in motor vehicle air conditioning, regardless of the original refrigerant: Arkansas, Arizona, Connecticut, Florida, Idaho, Indiana, Iowa, Kansas, Louisiana, Maryland, Nebraska, North Dakota, Oklahoma, Texas, Utah, Virginia, Wisconsin, Washington, and the District of Columbia.
Had this list bookmarked due to a person I know having an issue with an insurance claim in Texas. While his car fire was not caused by his AC system, they are denying his claim due to his using a flammable refrigerant. So be careful where you use hydrocarbon replacements.
