Du Pont, the major manufacturer of CFCs, gave their own products the brand name Freons and developed a labeling system that indicates, to the cognoscenti, how many atoms of each kind are present in a particular type of Freon. This system is now widely used for all CFCs; a shorthand naming system has evolved in which the two most commonly used CFCs are known as F-11 and F-12-their full chemical names are trichlorofluoromethane(CCl3F) and dichlorofluoromethane(CCl2F2). 2, record 2, English, - Freon%20shorthand%20naming%20system

Système numérique qui permet d'identifier chacun des nombreux hydrocarbures halogénés mis sur le marché par Dupont de Nemours, sans avoir recours à la nomenclature systématique ou aux formules chimiques. 1, record 2, French, - nomenclature%20industrielle%20abr%C3%A9g%C3%A9e%20Fr%C3%A9on
Record number: 2, Textual support number: 1 OBS
Le système numérique Fréon n'est plus l'exclusivité de Dupont; autant les autres fabricants de produits chimiques que le monde scientifique utilisent la nomenclature Fréon. C'est pourquoi le terme Fréon, ou même fréon, est devenu dans la pratique, quoique à tort, un synonyme d'hydrocarbure halogéné. Les fréons sont surtout utilisés comme propulseurs d'aérosol. 1, record 2, French, - nomenclature%20industrielle%20abr%C3%A9g%C3%A9e%20Fr%C3%A9on

Dans ce système, le produit est identifié par trois chiffres (de deux parfois car le zéro est facultatif). Le premier chiffre représente le nombre d'atomes de carbone moins 1 (les chlorofluorométhanes n'auront donc que deux chiffres). Le second représente le nombre d'atomes d'hydrogène plus 1 (ce qui permet de déterminer le degré d'halogénation). Le troisième chiffre représente le nombre d'atomes de fluor (ce qui permet de déduire le nombre d'atomes de chlore). Ainsi le trichlorotrifluoroéthane, CC1F2CC12F, prend l'appellation Fréon 113. 1, record 2, French, - nomenclature%20industrielle%20abr%C3%A9g%C3%A9e%20Fr%C3%A9on

En anglais, le terme qui précède le numéro d'identification varie selon les auteurs; Freon 113, freon 113, F-113, F 113, fluorocarbon-113, propellant 113, refrigerant 113, R 113, chlorofluorocarbon 113, CFC 113, FC 113 sont toutes des appellations équivalentes pour désigner le trichlorotrifluoroéthane. En français, on retrouve surtout, pour le même produit, Fréon 113, fréon 113, F 113, F-113, R 113 et, plus récemment, CFC 113 (pour chlorofluorocarbure 113). Le numéro peut aussi être précédé d'une autre marque déposée que celle de Dupont : Ucon 113, d'Union Carbide Corporation, par exemple. 1, record 2, French, - nomenclature%20industrielle%20abr%C3%A9g%C3%A9e%20Fr%C3%A9on
