Description

Trifluoromethane (CAS NO 75-46-7) is a versatile fluorocarbon compound widely used as a refrigerant and specialty gas. Its primary value lies in its low global warming potential (GWP) and zero ozone depletion potential (ODP), making it a key component in modern, environmentally conscious cooling systems. This high-purity gas is essential for industries requiring precision temperature control and advanced chemical synthesis, including refrigeration, air conditioning, and electronics manufacturing.

Application

• As a refrigerant (R-23) in ultra-low temperature and cascade refrigeration systems.
• As a fire suppression agent in specialized fire extinguishing systems for protecting high-value assets.
• As a plasma etchant and cleaning gas in the semiconductor and microelectronics fabrication industry.
• As a chemical intermediate in the synthesis of fluoropolymers and other advanced fluorinated compounds.
• As a tracer gas for leak detection in pressurized systems and environmental monitoring.
• In supercritical fluid extraction and other specialized laboratory processes.

Quality Control

Our Trifluoromethane is produced and handled under stringent quality management systems to ensure batch-to-batch consistency and high purity. Each lot is analyzed using advanced gas chromatography (GC) and other spectroscopic methods to verify composition and impurity profiles. Certificates of Analysis (COA) detailing purity, moisture content, and non-condensable gases are provided with every shipment to guarantee compliance with industry and customer-specific specifications.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, well-ventilated area away from heat sources, open flames, and incompatible materials. Cylinders should be secured upright and kept at temperatures not exceeding 50°C (122°F). Use appropriate pressure-rated equipment designed for liquefied gas service.
