difluoromethaan
Difluoromethaan, or difluoromethane, is a fluorinated hydrocarbon with the chemical formula CH2F2. It is a colorless gas at room temperature and is widely used in refrigeration as the refrigerant known as R-32. In addition to its use in air conditioning and heat pump systems, it may appear in other industrial applications as part of refrigerant blends designed to lower overall global warming potential.
Physically, difluoromethane has a boiling point of about −52 °C, so it is gaseous at ambient conditions.
Production and occurrence are primarily industrial, involving synthetic fluorination processes to produce the difluoromethane molecule for
Environmental impact: difluoromethane is a greenhouse gas with a global warming potential significantly higher than carbon
