Abstract
This invention relates to compositions that include at least one hydrocarbon and at least one fluorinated species. Such compositions may be used as refrigerants, cleaning agents, expansion agents for foams such as polyolefins and polyurethanes, aerosol propellants, heat transfer media, gaseous dielectrics, fire extinguishing agents, power cycle working fluids, polymerization media, particulate removal fluids, carrier fluids, buffing abrasive agents, displacement drying agents, among others.
Claims3
An azeotropic or azeotrope-like composition consisting essentially of at least about 92 wt % 1,1,1,3,3,3-hexafluoropropane and less than about 8 wt % of n-pentane wherein said composition has a pressure of about 31.9 to about 33 psia at a temperature of about 18.8.degree. C.
An azeotropic or azeotrope-like composition consisting essentially of at least about 95 wt % 1,1,1,3,3,3-hexafluoropropane and less than about 5 wt % of cyclopentane wherein said composition has a pressure of about 22.8 psia at a temperature of about 10.degree. C.
An azeotropic or azeotrope-like composition consisting essentially of at least about 94 wt % 1,1,2,3,3,3-hexafluoropropane and less than about 6 wt % of cyclopentane wherein said composition has a pressure of about 18.5 to about 19 psia at a temperature of about 10.degree. C.
