TERMINOLOGY

Fluorocarbons are divided into two groups, depending on their flamrnability.Nonflammable fluorocarbons marketed by the Du Pont Company are given thetrademark Freon@ to distinguish them from flammable fluorocarbons. The term"fluorocarbon" (FC) is broadly used for all types of organo-fluorine compoundsemployed as propellants regardless of their flammability or commercial status.A further refinement of the term fluorocarbon can be made to distinguishclrlorofluoro0atbons (which contain only carbon, chlorine, and fluorine) fromhydrochlorofluorocarbons (which contain hydrogen in addition to carbon,chlorine, and fluorine) and hydrofluorocarbons (which contain carbon, hydro-gen, and fluorine).

Fluorocarbons are manufactured worldwide. Producers and the trade namesoftheir products are listed in Table 3-i.

THE NUMBERING SYSTEM

The various fluorocarbon propellants are usually distinguished only by a numberafter the trade name or term "fluorocarbon," for example, Freon@ 12,FC-LI,or fluorocarbon 1 14.

The numbering system used for the different fluorinated compounds was de-veloped by the Du Pont Company n 1929 so that the chemical formula of afluorocarbon could be determined from the number of the compound alone.Thus, it is possible to write both the empirical and structural formulas forfluorocarbons 1 1 , 12, ll4, etc., from the numbers of these products. The num-bering system can also be applied to hydrocarbons and chlorinated hydrocar-bons. The system was offered to the refrigeration industry in 1960 to establishuniformity in numbering refrigerants.a It is now used by all U.S. manufacturersof fluorocarbons and applies to all products-propellants, refrigerants, blowingagents, and solvents-regardless of end use.

The formulas of aerosol propellants can be written from the propellant num-bers by following seven rules.

Rule 1. The first digit on the right signifies the number of fluorine (F) atoms inthe compound.

Rut-s 2. The second digit from the right is numerically one rnore than the num-ber of hydrogen (H) atoms in the compound.
