Tetrafluoromethane (CF4, also known as Carbon Tetrafluoride) is a color- and odorless gas which is neither flammable nor toxic. It is shipped as a liquid under pressure. It may be narcotic at high concentrations. Under prolonged exposure to fire or heat the containers may rupture violently and rocket.
CF4 Gas Uses-
Refrigerant.
Semiconductor.
NDIR Sensors.
Propellants.
Neutron detectors.
It is used as a low temperature refrigerant and also as a plasma etchant in electronics fabrication. The main industrial emissions of CF4 are as a by-product of smelting aluminium. As a fluorinated hydrocarbon, it absorbs strongly in the infrared and can be detected with NDIR sensors.
