China and India are the leading exporters of Chlorodifluoromethane (CAS 75-45-6), collectively accounting for over 60% of global export value in 2023–2024, while the United States, Germany, and Mexico represent the largest importing markets. Global trade volumes have declined steadily since 2021 amid tightening regulatory restrictions under the Montreal Protocol, contributing to increased volatility in Chlorodifluoromethane prices.
Chlorodifluoromethane (CAS No. 75-45-6) is a colorless, noncorrosive, moderately volatile gas at ambient temperature with a faint, chloroform-like odor; it has a boiling point of −40.8 °C and a melting point of −158 °C. It is classified as a hydrochlorofluorocarbon (HCFC) and an organofluorine compound. Historically used as a refrigerant and foam-blowing agent, its primary current role is as a key intermediate in the production of polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) and other fluoropolymers via pyrolysis to tetrafluoroethylene. It is also employed in the synthesis of fluorinated pharmaceuticals and agrochemicals where controlled fluorination is required.
Refrigerant, low-temperature solvent, fluorocarbon resins, especially tetrafluoroethylene polymers.
