Chlorodifluoromethane, also known as difluoromonochloromethane, is a hydrochlorofluorocarbon (HCFC) widely recognized by its code names HCFC-22, R-22, Genetron 22, or Freon 22. This colorless, volatile liquid exhibits a slight ethereal and faint sweetish odor and is composed of non-flammable materials. Its applications range from being a refrigerant for low-temperature systems to serving as a solvent in the manufacture of resins and polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE). With a molecular mass of 86.47, its boiling point stands at -40.8 °C, while its critical temperature is 96.2 °C.
