Bromochlorodifluoromethane

Bromochlorodifluoromethane, also known as Halon 1211 or CBrClF2, is a chemical compound that falls under the supply class Gases: Compressed And Liquefied in the supply group Chemicals And Chemical Products. It is a colorless, odorless gas that was commonly used as a fire extinguishing agent due to its ability to suppress flames.

However, Bromochlorodifluoromethane has been phased out in many countries due to its ozone-depleting properties. It is a member of the halogenated hydrocarbon family, which are known to contribute to the depletion of the Earth's ozone layer.

As a result, the production and use of Bromochlorodifluoromethane have been restricted under international agreements such as the Montreal Protocol. Alternative fire suppression agents that are less harmful to the ozone layer, such as halon replacements and clean agents, have been developed and are now widely used.

It is important to handle and dispose of Bromochlorodifluoromethane properly to prevent environmental harm. If you have any specific questions or need further information, feel free to ask.
