Description

Refrigerant R-141b is a hydrochlorofluorocarbon (HCFC) primarily used as a solvent and a blowing agent for
foam insulation. It has good thermal stability and cleaning properties, making it useful in industrial applications.
While it has a lower ozone depletion potential (ODP) than older CFCs, R-141b is being phased out in many countries
due to its environmental impact. More eco-friendly alternatives, such as HFOs, are increasingly replacing it. It is also
used for flushing refrigeration and air conditioning systems to remove contaminants. Due to regulatory restrictions,
industries are transitioning to safer and more sustainable substitutes.
