Description

1,1,1-Trichlorotrifluoroethane is a volatile, non-flammable chlorinated fluorocarbon solvent with excellent cleaning and degreasing properties. Its primary commercial value lies in its effectiveness as a precision cleaning agent for sensitive components, where residue-free drying is critical. This compound is essential for manufacturers in the electronics, aerospace, and precision engineering sectors requiring high-reliability cleaning processes.

Application

• Precision Cleaning & Degreasing: Critical cleaning of electronic components, printed circuit boards (PCBs), and aerospace parts where low surface tension and high volatility are required.
• Solvent for Coatings & Adhesives: Used as a carrier solvent in specialized coating formulations and adhesive systems.
• Refrigerant & Heat Transfer Fluid: Historical and specialized use as a refrigerant or in heat transfer applications, though largely phased out under the Montreal Protocol.
• Chemical Intermediate: Serves as a starting material or intermediate in the synthesis of other fluorinated compounds.
• Metal Cleaning: Effective for removing oils, greases, and fluxes from metal surfaces prior to finishing or assembly.
• Dry Cleaning Solvent (Specialized): Used in certain industrial or specialized dry-cleaning processes.
• Blowing Agent: For the production of certain foams and insulating materials.
• Laboratory Reagent: Utilized in research and analytical chemistry as a specialized solvent.

Quality Control

Our 1,1,1-Trichlorotrifluoroethane is produced and tested under stringent quality management systems to ensure batch-to-batch consistency and high purity. We provide comprehensive Certificates of Analysis (COA) for every shipment, detailing key parameters such as assay, impurity profile, and physical properties. Our quality commitment aligns with industrial and reagent-grade standards to meet the specific demands of our global B2B clients.

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 bases and reactive metals. Due to its highly volatile nature, ensure containers are kept upright and sealed when not in use to prevent evaporation and maintain purity. Recommended storage temperature is 15-25°C.
