What is monoflourochloromethane. What is it used for. What kind of professional would need large tanks of it? What are some of its properties? Sounds flammable.
Thanks.
Search under monofluorochloromethane- the o and the u were reversed in your OP.
It seems to be involved in the manufacture of plastic derivatives and chemicals used agriculture.
That’s one thing it doesn’t sound like. halogenated organics are often used to quench fires. You’re likely put off by the “methane” part. Methane ittself is flammable, it’s true, but I’ve talked with people whose job it was to burn the stuff, and their complaint is that pure methane actually isn’t flamnmable enough.
Chlorofluoromethane is probably going to be its most common name - there’s brief wiki page on it. It will be a gas at room temp and pressure, so a large tank of it will need to be pressurised. It’s a chlorofluorocarbon (CFC) used as a refrigerant that are popularly known for their adverse affects on the ozone layer. Very much doubt that it is flammable.
Just don’t use it to put out metal fires. Not that your average homeowner has a problem with metal fires.
And its formula is ClFCH[sub]2[/sub]
CFCHs are also used as solvents (the solvent in Typex is a CFCH as well). They are “sold” as being less dangerous for the ozone layer than CFCs, but the jury is still out on that really.
CFCs have no hydrogen atoms.
Could you possibly have meant monochlorodiflruoromethane which is synonomous with chlorodifluoromethane, which goes by the trade name of R22.
Here is the MSDS sheet. for it.
Could not find MSDS sheet or an entry in the Merck Index for CFM . Try looking for info on chlorofluorocarbons or CFCs or hydrofluorchlorocarbons (HFCs). HFCs are a more environmentaly safe refrigerant substitute for CFCs. Here is the wiki entry for haloalkanes.
Hope this points you in the right direction.
It’s used as a refrigerant, as in your car’s A/C according to my husband’s Haz-Mat manual.
Actually, with the prevalence of lithium batteries, metal fires are not that uncommon. Just take it for granted that when you lithium battery explodes, there is no common fire extinguisher that will put it out. Get it away from flammables and let it burn itself out.
