Chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs) are nonflammable and harmless compounds made up of chlorine, fluorine, and carbon atoms. Because of their non-flammable and non-toxic nature, which allows for easy conversion from gas to liquid and vice versa, chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs) were originally developed as refrigerants. They now also find use in the manufacture of aerosol sprays, packaging material, solvents, and foam blowing agents. CFCs are also known as 'Freons,' a trademark of Wilmington, Delaware-based E.I. du Pont de Nemours & Company.
Chlorofluorocarbons are used in a wide variety of industrial, commercial, and residential products. They are commonly used as air conditioners in refrigerators and as dehumidifiers in industrial cooling and humidification systems. In the food and beverage industry, chlorofluorocarbons are added to many non-acidic and sour taste-enhancing products. Regardless, there are certain aspects of the market that could potentially limit future development. For instance, the harmful environmental effect on the ozone layer remains one of the biggest challenges. Excessive use of CFC could lead to the greenhouse effect thereby impeding growth of the chlorofluorocarbon market in the near future.
