Dichlorofluoromethane or Freon 21 or R 21 is a halomethane or hydrochlorofluorocarbon. It is a colorless and odorless gas.
Its critical point is at 178.5 °C (451.7 K) and 517 MPa (51.7 bar). At temperatures from 5 K to 105 K it has one phase in the space group Pbca.
Uses
Dichlorofluoromethane was used as a propellant and refrigerant, but due to its ozone depletion it has been set to be phased out. It has ozone depletion potential 0.04. Production and consumption has been since 2004 reduced to 15 % of level from 1989 and it is to be phased out in 2015 according to Montreal Protocol.
