"GHG-12 (also called R-406A) can be mixed with R-12 and it works fine. However, this makes people mad whom are in the recovery/reclaim business. The Auto industry is against mixing GHG-12 and R-12 since they claim it reduces the supply of R-12 for cars. Indianapolis Refrigeration Products (800-497-6805) is an EPA approved reclaimer and they will take back mixed GHG-12 and R-12 blends for reclaiming. Don't put GHG-12 in a car in the US. The EPA has approved R-406A for almost all uses except Mobile A/C (cars).. Using it in a car in the US could get you a $25,000 fine + a $10,000 reward to somebody who turns you in. Any GHG-12 already in a car before 2/14/94 is still "legal" and does not have to be removed." http://www.epa.gov/ozone/snap/refrigerants/reflist.pdf is another link of interest.
