Yes.

Supermarkets moved away from 404 about 5 years ago
and the likes of Fosters and Williams who make the commercial
range of fridges and freezers moved to propane and propylene
about 5 years ago also.

So all in all the big users and manufactures of systems using 404
started the transition about 5 years ago.

That leaves everyone else, I'm in exactly the same boat. A cylinder
of 404 at the beginning of the year cost us less than £200 now they
price it as £1200, that is a bigger rise than the 40% reduction in stock.

But it is supply and demand.
