Record 1 2007-07-18

Subject field(s)
  • Chemical Elements and Compounds
DEF

TM for a series of fluorocarbon products used in refrigeration and air-conditioning equipment, as blowing agents, fire extinguishing agents, and cleaning fluids and solvents.

OBS

Many types contain chlorine as well as fluorine and should be called chlorofluorocarbons.

French

Domaine(s)

DEF

Marque déposée d'hydrocarbures halogénés produits par Dupont de Nemours International S.A., par Dupont of Canada Ltd., par E.I. Dupont de Nemours and Col. ainsi que par Mitsui Fluorochemicals Co. Ltd.

OBS

Quand le terme Fréon ne désigne pas la marque déposée mais une substance pour laquelle l'identité du fabricant importe peu, il est préférable d'utiliser le terme générique hydrocarbure halogéné ou chlorofluorocarbone.

OBS

Tous les produits incorrectement appelés «fréons» ne sont pas nécessairement des chlorofluorocarbones mais au sens étendu de ce terme on peut dire que les fréons font bien partie de cette famille de produits chimiques; à quelques exceptions près, la plupart des fréons sont, pour être plus exacts, des hydrocarbures halogénés.
