  • Applications

    Chloropentafluoroethane, CAS 76-15-3, is primarily used as a refrigerant (R-115) in air conditioning and industrial cooling systems; it is also employed as a blowing agent for polymer foams; it is used as a solvent and surface-cleaning agent in industrial processes, notably in electronics and metal finishing; and it serves as a precursor or intermediate in the manufacture of fluorinated chemicals for various industrial applications.
