Applications:
Chlorotrifluoroethylene (CTFE) is a chlorofluorocarbon with chemical formula CFCl=CF2. It is commonly used as a refrigerant in cryogenic applications. CTFE has a carbon-carbon double bond and so can be polymerized to form polychlorotrifluoroethylene or copolymerized to produce the plastic ECTFE.
Package:
Packed in cylinder (1ton per cylinder)
Storage:
1. Keep containers tightly closed.
2. Keep containers in a dry, cool and well-ventilated place.
3. Keep away from heat/sparks/open flames/ hot surfaces.
4. Store away from incompatible materials and foodstuff containers.
