What Does Cfc Stand For

Answer 3

Hi, hopefully this is a more complete answer. Dave

Any of several organic compounds containing carbon, fluorine, chlorine, and hydrogen.

A number of different CFCs have been made and sold under the trade name Freon. Developed in the 1930s, these halogenated hydrocarbons were widely used as refrigerants and aerosol propellants and in other applications because they are nontoxic and nonflammable and readily evaporate and condense. However, CFCs released into the atmosphere rise into the stratosphere, where solar radiation breaks them down; the chlorine released reacts with ozone, depleting the ozone layer. In 1992 most developed countries agreed to end CFC production by 1996; 1997 production, weighted according to the ozone depletion potential of each CFC, was 10% of peak (1988) production.

Answer 4

ChloroFlouroCarbon

Chlorofluorocarbons (CFC) are haloalkanes with both chlorine and fluorine. They were formerly used widely in industry, for example as refrigerants, propellants, and cleaning solvents. Their use has been generally prohibited by the Montreal Protocol, because of effects on the ozone layer (see ozone depletion). They also contribute to global warming. They have a global warming potential (GWP), in terms of carbon dioxide equivalence (over a time period of one hundred years) between 6000 and 9800 per kg

Answer 7

Well, if your talking about science probably "Chlorofluorocarbons" (CFCs) are a class of man-made chemicals known by such tradenames as "Freon," "Genetron," and "Isotron." CFCs have been used in a wide variety of manufacturing steps and products including as a solvent in the electronics industry, foaming or blowing agent, aerosol propellant, fire extinguisher agent, dry cleaning solvent, degreasing agent, a key component in making rigid foam insulation for houses and household appliances, and foam packaging insulation material (known by the trade name of "Styrofoam"). Use of CFCs has declined as concern over their interaction with the environment has grown.
