colorless, non-turbid, almost odorless, non-corrosive, non-irritating non-combustible gas. There is a slightly ether-like odor at high concentrations. Boiling point -29.8 °c. Melting Point -158 °c. Liquid density (-29.8 °c) 1.486g/cm3. Critical pressure 4. OIMPa. The critical temperature is 111.5. Insoluble in water, soluble in ethanol, ether.
The reaction of carbon tetrachloride with hydrogen fluoride was carried out in the presence of antimony pentachloride catalyst. When the control reflux condensation temperature is -5 deg C, the main product.
It can be used as a refrigerant, fire extinguishing agent, insecticide and propellant, and is also a raw material for fluororesin.
The toxicity is very small, and the high concentration is narcotic. Contact with a flame or hot metal surface may produce toxic substances. The maximum allowable concentration in air is 1000 × 10-6. Packed in medium pressure cylinders with a net weight of 40kg per bottle. Store in a cool and ventilated place. Impact and exposure to the Sun are strictly prohibited during storage and transportation.
