Continuing dissatisfaction amongst fluorine chemists with the cumbersome alphanumeric ASHRAE ( Freon ) codes for fluorocarbons (which contain no provision for branched-chain compounds) has led to interesting proposals recently concerning alternative codes for HFCs and HFEs.10 To be fair to ASHRAE. when its predecessor, ASRE, standardized the so-called Du Pont code in the late 1950s, no one could have foreseen the proliferation of lists of volatile fluorocarbons (and hence coded designations) arising from the impressive commercial drive to locate environmentally acceptable in-kind replacements for C.FCs and Halons.8...
