Chlorotrifluoroethene is a chemical compound selected from the group of aliphatic, unsaturated halogenated hydrocarbons, more specifically to the CFCs.

Production and representation

Chlorotrifluoroethene may be made of tetrachlorethylene, which is reacted first in trichlorotrifluoroethane, and subsequently with zinc, or hydrogen.

Properties

Chlorotrifluoroethene is chemically unstable at elevated temperature. In the decomposition form, among others, hydrogen chloride and hydrogen fluoride. It tends (especially with ethylene or 1,1- dichloroethylene ) for spontaneous polymerization. The gas has a critical temperature of 105.8 ° C, a critical pressure of 40.6 bar and a critical density of 0.55 kg / l The triple point temperature is -158.15 ° C, and the triple point pressure of the bar is at 0.00001.

Use

Chlorotrifluoroethene is to prepare the polymers of polychlorotrifluoroethylene (PCTFE ) and ethylene -chlorotrifluoroethylene fluorocopolymer ( ECTFE ), thus used as a monomer or copolymer of thermoplastic specialty plastics.

Safety

Chlorotrifluoroethene can combine with air to form an explosive mixture (ignition temperature 540 ° C). Combustion or thermal decomposition, toxic and corrosive chlorine and fluorine compounds.
