| Material Notes | Used in freezing of foods CFC-113 is a very unreactive chlorofluorocarbon, that will stay in the atmosphere for a great deal of time if it is released. CFC-113 will stay in the atmosphere long enough that it will cycle out of the troposphere and into the stratosphere. In the stratosphere, CFC-113 can be broken up by ultraviolet radiation, creating chlorine radicals, which can in turn react with ozone molecules to form molecular oxygen (O2), leading to the overall depletion of stratospheric ozone. The amount of CFC-113 in the atmosphere has stayed relatively stable, at about 80 parts per trillion, since the early 1990s.; CFC-113 was one of the many forms of CFCs that were made to eliminate toxic and flammable substances in the areas that they were used. It has been used as a cooling agent in refrigerants and air conditioners, aerosol propellant, and a cleansing agent for electrical and electronic components. CFC-113 is one of the three most popular CFCs, along with CFC-11 and CFC-12 and saw much use in its time. CFC-113 has a unique property that makes it perfect for cooling systems. When it is in a gas form and compressed, it heats up, when it is expanded, it cools. This makes them ideal for the vapor compression cycle systems. They were also very desirable because of their low toxicity, non-flammability, thermophysical properties, and normal boiling point. CFC-113 also has a flexible form so it was used in the production of plastics, packaging material, insulation, foams for cushioning, and things like the soles of your shoes. CFC-113 has such a low flammability and low toxicity that it was also used as a cleaner for delicate electrical equipment, fabrics, and even metals. Because it would not warm the product it was cleaning, catch fire with a spark or react to and other chemicals it was ideal for this purpose. CFC-113 in laboratory analytics has been replaced by other solvents.; Trichlorotrifluoroethane, also called 1,1,2-Trichloro-1,2,2-trifluoroethane or CFC-113 is a chlorofluorocarbon. It has the formula Cl2FC-CClF2. |
