chloropentafluoroethane
Sign in to saveAlso known as Fluorocarbon-115, Freon 115, Genetron 115, Halocarbon 115, Monochloropentafluoroethane, CFC-115, R-115
Chloropentafluoroethane is a chlorofluorocarbon (CFC) once used as a refrigerant and also known as R-115 and CFC-115. Its production and consumption has been banned since 1 January 1996 under the Montreal Protocol because of its high ozone depletion potential and very long lifetime when released into the environment. CFC-115 is also a potent greenhouse gas.
