TETRAFLUOROMETHANE Chemical compatibility with O-rings, rubbers, & plastics

Tetrafluoromethane, also known as carbon tetrafluoride (CF4), is a colorless, non-flammable gas used primarily as a refrigerant and in the production of electronics. It is employed in various industrial applications, including the manufacturing of semiconductors, as an etchant and cleaning agent for plasma etching processes. Tetrafluoromethane is also used as a propellant in aerosol products and as a tracer gas in leak detection systems. Proper handling and storage of tetrafluoromethane are essential to prevent accidents and ensure safety, as it can pose health risks if inhaled in high concentrations. Safety measures, including the use of appropriate protective equipment and adherence to handling protocols, are crucial when working with tetrafluoromethane. Its effectiveness as a refrigerant and its unique properties make tetrafluoromethane a valuable chemical in numerous industrial and electronic applications, contributing to the production and maintenance of various electronic devices and systems.
