    Applications

  •  Other industries 
    Due to concerns about its ozone-depleting potential, the consumption of chlorotrifluoromethane is continuously decreasing; the production would be stopped in 2010
    (Montreal protocol: the international agreement signed for the protection of the stratospheric ozone layer).

Safety Data Sheets
The European Material Safety Data Sheets (MSDS) are made available for information only. Visitors to this site may only use them at their own risk. The MSDSs were prepared by EIGA ( the European Industrial Gas Association) according to European Union standards. Although Air Liquide believes the information in the MSDSs to be correct, Air Liquide cannot be held responsible in any event if the contents do not meet the regulatory requirements of countries outside the European Union. Material Safety Data Sheets are subject to revision. Refer to this web site to ensure that you have the latest version.

Material compatibility
Air Liquide has assembled data on the compatibility of gases with materials to assist you in evaluating which products to use for a gas system. Although the information has been compiled from what Air Liquide believes are reliable sources (International Standards: Compatibility of cylinder and valve materials with gas content; Part 1: ISO 11114-1 (Jul 1998), Part 2: ISO 11114-2 (Mar 2001)), it must be used with extreme caution. No raw data such as this can cover all conditions of concentration, temperature, humidity, impurities and aeration. It is therefore recommended that this table is used to choose possible materials and then more extensive investigation and testing is carried out under the specific conditions of use. The collected data mainly concern high pressure applications at ambiant temperature and the safety aspect of material compatibity rather than the quality aspect.
