Description of key information

Additional information

Most of the available data on the physical and chemical properties of chlordifluoromethane are taken from public domain reviews including the CRC Handbook of Chemistry and Physics 90th Edition (2009 -2010), the IUCLID Dataset of Chlorodifluoromethane created by the European Commission - European Chemical Bureau (ECB)(19.12.2000), the European Union Risk Assessment Report (RAR) on Chlorodifluoromethane - Final Approved Version (Nov. 2007), and the Hazardous Substances Data Bank (HSDB) of Chlordifluoromethane provided by the Toxicology Data Network (ToxNet). Due to the extensive industrial use the physical and chemical properties of chlorodufluoromethane are well characterized, and summarised in the table below.

Chlorodifluoromethane is a colorless gas of faint sweetish smell, low acute toxicity, on pressure liquified at room temperature, stable, not explosive, flammable or oxidising,
