Hexafluoropropylene
Encyclopedia
Hexafluoropropylene is a compound with the formula C3F6. It is a fluorocarbon
alkene
in which all of the hydrogen atoms in propylene
are replaced by fluorine
atoms. It is used as a chemical intermediate.
Fluorocarbon
Fluorocarbons, sometimes referred to as perfluorocarbons or PFCs, are organofluorine compounds that contain only carbon and fluorine bonded together in strong carbon–fluorine bonds. Fluoroalkanes that contain only single bonds are more chemically and thermally stable than alkanes...
