Tetrafluoro methane is the simplest perfluorocarbon. It is the perfluorinated counterpart to hydrocarbon methane. It can also be classified as haloalkane or halomethane. Tetrafluoromethane is a useful refrigerant but also a potent greenhouse gas. It is also known as carbon Read more…
Bromochlorodifluoromethane was introduced as an effective gaseous fire suppression agent in the mid-1960s. BCF was also widely used in the maritime industries and transport industries. Its efficiency as a fire extinguishing agent has also led it to be the predominant choice of Read more…
Bromochloromethane is a mixed halomethane. It was invented for use in fire extinguishers as an alternative to carbon tetrachloride. It is less toxic, more effective than carbon tetrachloride. Its also referred to as methylene bromochloride and Halon 1011. CAS no: 74-97-5 Properties Generic Properties Critical Read more…
Bromoform is an organic, colorless liquid at room temperature, with a high refractive index, very high density, and sweet odor is similar to chloroform. It can be prepared by the haloform reaction using acetone and sodium hypobromite, by the electrolysis Read more…
CAS no: 75-62-7 Properties Generic Properties Critical Properties Temperature Dependent Properties Specific Heat The specific heat at constant pressure can be calculated with the formula: Heat of Formation The heat of formation can be calculated with the formula: Viscosity The Read more…
Bromotrifluoromethane is a colorless, odorless gas at room temperature. It is a noncombustible, nontoxic gas but can asphyxiate by the displacement of air. Contact with the unconfined liquid can cause frostbite by evaporative cooling. Exposure of the container to prolonged Read more…
Carbon disulfide is a colorless liquid with an ether-like odor. Its exposure can cause dizziness, headache, anxiety, and vision changes. The level of exposure depends upon the dose, duration, and work being done. Carbon disulfide is used in many industries. Read more…
Carbon tetrachloride is an organic compound with the chemical formula CCl4. It is a colorless liquid with a “sweet” smell. It is not flammable at lower temperatures and widely used in fire extinguishers, as a precursor to refrigerants and as Read more…
It is a colorless, odorless, tasteless gas that is slightly less dense than air. It is the simplest molecule of the oxocarbon family and generally produced due to thermal combustion. Moreover, there are numerous environmental and biological sources that generate Read more…
Carbon tetrabromide is a colorless crystalline solid. It is denser than water and insoluble in water. It is toxic by ingestion and used to a limited extent as a chemical intermediate. It has been isolated from red algae and found in the ocean. Read more…
