Chlorofluoromethane
Chlorofluoromethane or Freon 31 is the hydrochlorofluorocarbon with the formula CH2ClF. It is a colorless, odorless, flammable gas.Uses
Pyrolysis of a mixture of dichlorofluoromethane and chlorofluoromethane gives hexafluorobenzene:
It was used as a refrigerant and has an ozone depletion potential of 0.02.Additional data
