Dichlorodifluoromethane (CFC-12)
Dichlorodifluoromethane (CFC-12, CCl2F2) is a fully halogenated acyclic hydrocarbon with only fluorine and chlorine, used traditionally in refrigeration and air conditioning. Classified under HTS 2903.77.00.80 as 'other' perhalogenated acyclic hydrocarbons with two different halogens (F and Cl). Its production and import are restricted due to ozone depletion potential.
