General Description
Colorless nonflammable gas. Nearly odorless.
Reactivity Profile
2-CHLORO-1,1,1,2-TETRAFLUOROETHANE 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.
Chemical Properties
Gas; odorless; colorless. Much heavier
than air. Nonflammable.
Uses
HCFC 124 has recently been developed as a replacement for
fully halogenated chlorofluorocarbons. Its primary applications
are as a refrigerant and foam-blowing agent.
