Bromochloromethane is a chemical compound selected from the group consisting of aliphatic, and saturated halocarbons.

Properties

Bromochloromethane is sensitive to light and from 400 ° C it decomposes, where, for example, hydrogen chloride and hydrogen bromide formed.

Use

Bromochloromethane was used as a refrigerant, in fire extinguishers and as a solvent, but because of its ozone depletion potential of 0.120 production at the Eleventh Meeting of the Parties for the Montreal Protocol on Substances did deplete the Ozone Layer was banned on 1 January 2002.
