formula, see observation
DEF

A nonflammable liquid boiling at 47.3°C used as a refrigerant, as a fire-extinguishing agent and as a control fluid.

CONT

Halon 2402 has proved effective in combination with foam or dry-chemical agents. A vapourizing liquid, it can be expelled as a liquid stream. The high density of its vapours generates an inhibiting atmosphere that renders flashbacks or reignition unlikely.

OBS

1,2-dibromo-1,1,2,2-tetrafluoroethane: form recommended by the IUPAC (International Union of Pure and Applied Chemistry).

OBS

Chemical formulas: C2F4Br2 or CBrF2-CBrF[subscript 2
