Comme la nomenclature industrielle Fréon ne distingue pas un dérivé chloré d'un dérivé bromé, on reconnaît le chlorotrifluorométhane (CC1F3) et le bromotrifluorométhane (CBrF3) en nommant le premier CFC 13 et le second CFC 13B1. Le B1 signale la présence d'un atome de brome; de la même façon l'appellation d'un autre hydrocarbure bromé, le CFC 114B2, signale la présence de deux atomes de brome. Il ne faut pas confondre la lettre majuscule B, indicatif du brome, avec la lettre minuscule b qui sert d'indicatif d'isomérie (le CFC 142b, pour le monochlorodifluoroéthane par exemple). 5, record 2, French, - bromotrifluorom%C3%A9thane

The hydrogenated partially halogenated chlorofluorocarbons constitute a class of chemicals being considered as substitutes. The ozone-depleting potentials and the global-warming potentials of the partially halogenated chlorofluorocarbons are considerably lower than those of the fully halogenated chlorofluorocarbons, and their atmospheric residence times are shorter. 4, record 3, English, - partially%20halogenated%20chlorofluorocarbon
