HOUSTON — RectorSeal® Corp. announced that it has acquired the assets of Universal Technologies Inc., Baltimore, and its AC Leak Freeze™ brands of refrigeration and air conditioning system leak repair sealants.

Universal Technologies is a leader in the refrigerant leak repair industry for most sizes of air conditioning and refrigeration equipment under the AC Leak Freeze and AC Leak Freeze with Magic Frost brands. It also offers AC Leak Freeze R for smaller appliances. The product is a non-polymer formula that seals refrigerant leaks internally and doesn’t react to moisture or oxygen. Once applied with its injector system, AC Leak Freeze also remains in the system to seal future leaks as they occur, while also reducing component friction, said the company.

The acquisition supplements RectorSeal’s product line and complements its refrigerant service product category that includes Acid-Away®, Acid-Detector™, and Oil-ID™. “We had the opportunity to buy a company with a ‘best-in-class’ product, so we took advantage of it,” said Larry Kaiser, vice president-sales, RectorSeal, a portfolio company of publicly-traded CSW Industrials Inc.

RectorSeal said HVACR wholesalers and contractors will experience a seamless changeover when the company transitions to marketing, sales, and customer support of AC Leak Freeze and its website, www.leakfreeze.com.

The Universal Technologies transaction is RectorSeal’s fifth acquisition since 2011 when it acquired Airtec, Fall River, Massachusetts. Other recent acquisitions include Resource Conservation Technologies, Glue-On-Nozzle, SureSeal®, and the Evo-Crete™ and PolySlab™ brands from Australian-based Evolve Group.
