Reactivity Profile
1,2-DICHLORO-1,1-DIFLUOROETHANE is chemically inert in many situations, but can react violently with strong reducing agents such as the very active metals and the active metals. They suffer oxidation with strong oxidizing agents and under extremes of temperature. With acids, toxic gases may be released.
Uses
1,2-Dichloro-1,1-difluoroethane is a refrigerant which maintains thermal conductivity. A chlorofluorocarbon which contributes to ozone depletion and is recognized as an environmental pollutant.Environmental toxin on US EPA Toxic Release Inventory list (TRI) list.
