Description

Trifluoroethane CAS NO 27987-06-0 is a fluorinated hydrocarbon solvent and propellant known for its excellent solvency and environmental profile. This compound is valued for its high volatility and low global warming potential, making it a modern alternative in regulated applications. It serves as a critical component for manufacturers in the electronics, precision cleaning, and pharmaceutical industries seeking efficient, high-purity processing agents.

Application

• Precision Cleaning Agent: Used for defluxing and degreasing sensitive electronic components and optical parts due to its high volatility and non-flammable nature.
• Aerosol Propellant: Employed in specialty aerosol products, including dusters and spray cleaners, where a stable, non-ozone depleting propellant is required.
• Chemical Synthesis Intermediate: Acts as a building block in the synthesis of more complex fluorinated organic compounds for pharmaceuticals and agrochemicals.
• Refrigerant Component: Utilized in blends for low-temperature refrigeration and air-conditioning systems.
• Carrier Solvent: Serves as an inert carrier in coatings and deposition processes for advanced materials.
• Laboratory Reagent: Used as a specialty solvent in analytical and research laboratories.
