Safety Information
Use
1,1,2-Trichlorotrifluoroethane (CFC 113) is generally a stable molecule not prone to the reactivity that is often shown by the chlorinated hydrocarbons. The solvent blends that contain the fluorinated hydrocarbon and an alcohol display some metal reactivity which is inhibited by adding nitromethane as a stabilizer.
