| Chlorofluorocarbons were developed and used as refrigerants, blowing agents for polyurethane foam, and propellants in spray cans. |
|
| Formic acid is also used in fumigants, refrigerants, solvents for perfumes and lacquers, brewing, and silvering glass. |
|
| The compound is also considered as a refrigerant in applications, as a substitute of ozone reducing chlorofluorocarbon refrigerants. |
|
| Replacement refrigerants have now been developed which are less harmful to the ozone layer. |
|
| These new greener chillers use sound waves for cooling instead of environment-damaging chemical refrigerants linked to global warming. |
|
| Oakhurst became the first major company in the region to use non-chlorofluorocarbon refrigerants in all of its fleet. |
|
| Today, key commercial uses of liquefied gas include liquefied refrigerants for cryogenic application and liquefied petroleum gases for fuel use. |
|
| Many products, such as refrigerants and solvents that have been developed over the past 50 years, used substances called chlorofluorocarbons. |
|
| However, he points out that halogen oxidants also form during the sunlight-triggered breakdown of industrial chemicals such as chlorofluorocarbon refrigerants. |
|
| In addition, conventional air conditioners use refrigerants made of chlorine compounds, suspected contributors to the depletion of the ozone layer and global warming. |
|
| Because of their polarity, the CFCs are useful solvents, and their boiling points make them suitable as refrigerants. |
|
| Uses include refrigerants, blowing agents, propellants in medicinal applications and degreasing solvents. |
|
| Work on alternatives for chlorofluorocarbons in refrigerants began in the late 1970s after the first warnings of damage to stratospheric ozone were published. |
|
| Refrigerants will remain the most important market for fluorochemicals, accounting for 28 percent of fluorochemical demand in value terms. |
