Dicholorfluoroethane (HCFC-141b) is a nontoxic and colorless chemical with small ODP value and excellent chemical stability. Since its physical and chemical properties are similar to those of CFC-11 and CFC-113, it can substitute CFC-11 as foaming agent for rigid or soft PU foam without changing process and equipment, of CFC-113 as metal cleaner and solder- remover as well, HCFC-141b has the following characteristics: |
• |
Chemical stability: It can be stored at room temperature without decomposition |
• |
Dissolvability; it can dissolve in most organic solvents, alcohol and ether. It has excellent compatibility with grease and lubricant, and no obvious effects on most pollymers including plastics and rubbers. |
• |
Toxicity: The toxicity trials conducted by Allied Signal and Atochem indicate that it has no irritant effect on human skin and eyes, but inhalation of high-concentrated HCFC-141b will cause anaesthetic effect. |
• |
Flammability: HCFC-141b is inflammable, it should be stored in ventilated place without flame. |
