CHLOROTRIFLUOROETHYLENE Chemical compatibility with O-rings, rubbers, & plastics

Chlorotrifluoroethylene, also referred to as CTFE, is a colorless, mildly odorous gas with the chemical formula C2ClF3 that serves as a key monomer in the manufacture of fluoropolymers and specialty fluorinated chemicals. This highly flammable gas can irritate the skin and respiratory system upon exposure, requiring controlled storage and proper safety measures. When assessing chemical compatibility, O-rings, rubber seals, gaskets, and plastic components must be evaluated carefully, as chlorotrifluoroethylene may affect certain rubber formulations under service conditions.
