Description

1,2,2,2-Tetrafluoroethane is a hydrofluorocarbon (HFC) refrigerant and propellant known for its favorable environmental profile as a zero ozone-depleting substance. This compound is critical for industries requiring efficient, non-flammable heat transfer and precise aerosol delivery systems. It is primarily needed by manufacturers in the refrigeration, air conditioning, and pharmaceutical aerosol formulation sectors, where performance and regulatory compliance are paramount.

Application

• Primary refrigerant in commercial and domestic refrigeration systems.
• Working fluid in air conditioning (AC) and heat pump units.
• Propellant for metered-dose inhalers (MDIs) in pharmaceutical applications.
• Blowing agent for foam insulation production.
• Solvent and cleaning agent in precision electronics manufacturing.
• Fire suppression agent in specialized fire extinguishing systems.
• Carrier gas for aerosol products in personal care and industrial applications.
