Description

Any of a class of organic compounds in which fluorine replaces one or more of the hydrogen molecules. Fluorocarbons are resistant to heat, flame, chemicals, moisture and oxidation. They are used as lubricants, refrigerants, fire extinguishing agents and inert polymers. Examples of fluorocarbon polymers are polytetrafluoroethylene (Teflon®), polyvinylidene fluoride, and fluorinated ethylene propylene.

Synonyms and Related Terms

fluorocarbono (Esp.); composé flouorocarboné (Fr.); fluorocarbone (Fr.); fluorocarbon resin; fluoroplastic;
