CFCs are short for the compound, chlorofluorocarbon, which contain carbon, chlorine, and fluorine. Chlorofluorocarbons are more commonly referred to as CFCs or, when used for refrigeration, CFCs are also known as freon.

Developed in the 1930s as a safe alternative to ammonia, usage of CFCs grew rapidly because of its usefulness and convenience throughout most of the 20th century. Over the past forty years, manufacturing of CFCs has been heavily regulated and phased out due to the harmful impact it has on the ozone layer.

The chemical reaction for CFC is: CCl3F = CCl2F + Cl.

Uses

Due to their chemical properties, CFCs became useful as coolants and propellants. More commonly known as freon for refrigeration, CFCs are used extensively in appliances as a safe method of refrigeration. The other main use for CFCs has been as a propellant for aerosol cans
