Los CFC [clorofluorocarburos] y HCFC [hidroclorofluorocarburos] son compuestos derivados de los hidrocarburos (hydrocarbon en inglés) por sustitución de todos o algunos de sus átomos de hidrógeno con átomos de cloro y de flúor. Su nombre, lógicamente, debe reflejar esta sustitución. Los nombres de los compuestos orgánicos con átomos de cloro o de flúor incluyen el prefijo «cloro» o «fluoro». Luego clorofluorocarburo e hidroclorofluorocarburo son las mejores posibilidades. 4, record 1, Spanish, - clorofluorocarburo
Record number: 1, Textual support number: 2 CONT
El clorofluorocarburo, clorofluorocarbono o clorofluorocarbonados (denominados también CFC) es cada uno de los derivados de los hidrocarburos saturados obtenidos mediante la sustitución de átomos de hidrógeno por átomos de flúor y/o cloro principalmente. Debido a su alta estabilidad físico-química y su nula toxicidad han sido muy usados como líquidos refrigerantes, agentes extintores y propelentes para aerosoles. [...] La fabricación y empleo de CFC fueron prohibidos por el protocolo de Montreal, debido a que los CFC destruyen la capa de ozono. 5, record 1, Spanish, - clorofluorocarburo
