Important Raw Material For Compound Refrigerant R143a

R143a or simply trifluoroethane, is a fluorocarbon compound that is a clear, colorless gas. It is used as a refrigerant either by itself or more commonly as a component of blended mixtures. Unlike CFCs used as refrigerants, R143a has no chlorine atoms and is therefore not an ozone-depleting chemical, though its high chemical stability and infra-red absorbency make it a potent greenhouse gas. R143a is also used as a propellant in canned air products used to clean electronic equipment.NamesIUPAC name1,1,1-TrifluoroethaneOther namesMethylfluoroform, 1,1,1-Trifluoroform, R-143a, HFC-143a, UN 2035I
