Trichloromonofluoromethane

Trichloromonofluoromethane, also known as CFC-11 or Freon-11, 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 refrigerant and propellant in aerosol products.

However, the production and use of CFC-11 has been phased out due to its harmful effects on the ozone layer. It is a potent greenhouse gas and a major contributor to ozone depletion. The Montreal Protocol, an international environmental agreement, has been implemented to regulate and reduce the production and consumption of CFCs, including CFC-11.

It is important to note that the use of CFC-11 is now restricted or banned in many countries. Alternatives such as hydrochlorofluorocarbons (HCFCs) and hydrofluorocarbons (HFCs) have been developed as replacements for CFCs in various applications.
