Fluorocarbons are used as refrigerants in home appliances, mobile air conditioning units, retail food refrigeration systems & ... chillers. (Fluorocarbons).

Refrigerant.

Functional uses

  • Propellants, non-motive (blowing agents)

How it is made

Fluorination of 1,1,1-trichloro-2,2,2-trichloroethane with hydrogen fluoride at 450 °C over aluminum fluoride catalysts.

Passage of perchloroethylene, chlorine, and hydrogen fluoride over aluminum trifluoride.

The most important commercial method for manufacturing CFCs and HCFCs is the successive replacement of chlorine by fluorine using hydrogen fluoride. The traditional, liquid-phase process uses antimony pentafluoride or a mixture of antimony trifluoride and chlorine as catalysts.

Continuous vapor-phase processes that employ gaseous hydrogen fluoride in the presence of heterogenous chromium, iron, or fluorinated alumina catalysts also are widely used. Carbon tetrachloride, chloroform, and hexachloroethane (or tetrachloroethylene plus chlorine) are commonly used starting materials for one- and two-carbon chlorofluorocarbons. The extent of chlorine exchange can be controlled by varying the hydrogen fluoride concentration, the contact time, or the reaction temperature. (CFCs and HCFCs)
