Default Which brand R134a refrigerant? w pic

I'm doing some maintenance on my AC system and I'm looking for small cans of R134a refrigerant with UV leak indicator but NO sealant. I've heard that most refrigerant 'top off' cans have sealant in them even though the label doesn't mention it, so I thought I better ask.

Guy at the local Oreillys said the one pictured doesn't have sealer.

Any confirmation or other brand suggestions?

I think you heard incorrectly. Most top off cans do not have a sealer in them unless it labeled as such on the can somewhere.

If you get it to cool sufficiently and it lasts all summer, get an extra can or two and enjoy the summer.
