Fluorine industrial uses

Even in 1992, it was estimated that business involving the sale of compounds containing carbon-fluorine bonds was worth around US 50 billion per annum [60] and it has certainly increased since then. In this chapter, only a short survey of the major industrial applications of fluorinated molecules is possible and the reader is directed to a number of books and reviews [17, 20, 29, 61-65] for further details.
