Description

Chlorodibromofluoromethane is a halogenated methane derivative, also known as Halon 1211, primarily valued for its effectiveness as a fire extinguishing agent. Its commercial importance stems from its ability to rapidly suppress flames with minimal residue, making it critical for specialized fire protection systems. This compound is essential for industries requiring reliable, high-performance fire suppression, including aviation, military, and critical electronics protection.

Application

• Primary component in portable and fixed fire extinguishing systems (Halon 1211 systems).
• Used in aviation and military fire protection for engine nacelles and armored vehicle systems.
• Agent for protecting high-value electronic equipment and telecommunications facilities.
• Intermediate in the synthesis of specialty fluorochemicals and refrigerants.
• Used in laboratory research as a standard or reagent in halogenation studies.
• Employed in certain specialty chemical vapor deposition (CVD) processes.

Quality Control

Our Chlorodibromofluoromethane is manufactured and tested to meet stringent industry specifications for fire extinguishing agents and chemical intermediates. We provide comprehensive Certificates of Analysis (COA) with each batch, detailing purity, identity, and key physical properties. Quality is assured through rigorous analytical protocols, including gas chromatography (GC) and infrared spectroscopy (IR), ensuring compliance with relevant military (MIL) and industry standards.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, well-ventilated area away from heat sources and incompatible materials such as strong acids/organic solvents. Due to its highly volatile nature, ensure containers are kept upright and sealed when not in use. Recommended storage temperature is 15-25°C.
