Description

Hydrochlorofluorocarbon-252 (HCFC-252) is a specialized fluorocarbon compound used primarily as a refrigerant and foam-blowing agent. This chemical is valued for its controlled thermodynamic properties and its role as a transitional substance in applications moving away from ozone-depleting CFCs. It is essential for manufacturers and service providers in the refrigeration, air conditioning, and insulation foam industries seeking reliable performance with a lower environmental impact profile.

Application

• As a refrigerant in commercial and industrial cooling systems.
• As a blowing agent in the production of polyurethane and polyisocyanurate insulation foams.
• As a cleaning solvent for precision electronic components and metal parts.
• As a propellant in specialized aerosol applications.
• As an intermediate in the synthesis of other fluorinated chemicals.
• Used in fire suppression systems as a component of gaseous extinguishing agents.
• For leak testing and as a tracer gas in industrial processes.

Quality Control

Our HCFC-252 is produced and handled under strict quality management protocols to ensure batch-to-batch consistency and reliability. Each lot is analyzed to confirm identity, purity, and the absence of critical impurities. A comprehensive Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing gas chromatography (GC) purity, moisture content, and acidity is provided with every shipment, ensuring it meets the technical requirements for its intended industrial applications.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, well-ventilated area away from heat, sparks, and open flame. Due to its highly volatile and gaseous nature under standard conditions, containers must be kept upright and secured. Storage temperature should not exceed 50°C (122°F). Keep separated from incompatible materials such as strong alkalis and reactive metals.
