Fluoroform R23

Fluoroform R23, also known as carbon trifluoride or Freon-23 or Trifluoromethane, is a colorless, odorless gas with the chemical formula CHF3.

 

Fluoroform R23 is a halocarbon compound that belongs to the family of hydrofluorocarbons (HFCs). Trifluoromethane is composed of one carbon atom bonded to three fluorine atoms.

 

Product Name: HFC 23 (R23)

Case No.: 75-46-7

Molecular Formula: CHF3

1. Physical Properties: Fluoroform is a gas at room temperature and atmospheric pressure. It has a boiling point of -82.1°C (-115.8°F) and a melting point of -150.8°C (-239.4°F). It is denser than air and has a molecular weight of 70.01 g/mol.

2. Applications: Fluoroform R 23 has various applications in different industries. It is commonly used as a refrigerant in low-temperature applications, such as in industrial refrigeration systems and cascade refrigeration systems. It is also used as a fire suppression agent in some fire extinguishing systems. Trifluoromethane has been used as a replacement for ozone-depleting substances, such as chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs), due to its lower impact on the ozone layer.

3. Environmental Impact: R23(HFC 23) is a greenhouse gas with a high global warming potential (GWP). It has an atmospheric lifetime of approximately 260 years, which means it can remain in the atmosphere for a long time, contributing to the greenhouse effect and climate change. Efforts are being made to reduce its emissions and find more environmentally friendly alternatives.

4.Safety Considerations: gas R23 is generally considered to be non-toxic, but it can displace oxygen in poorly ventilated areas, leading to asphyxiation. Like other compressed gases, it should be handled with caution, and appropriate safety measures should be followed.
