CF3I is put to practical use through a joint project with Japan’s New Energy and Industrial Technology Development Organization (NEDO).
Tosoh Finechem Corporation (formerly Tosoh F-Tech, Inc.) launched an in-house project in 1999 to develop mass-production technology. In 2002, through a joint project with NEDO, the company developed the world's first CFC and halon replacement material using a synthetic method.
In an era when CFC and halon replacement materials are essential in combatting global warming
In the late 1980s, restrictions were imposed on the use of ozone-depleting substances such as CFCs. By the end of 1995, several substances subject to regulations were completely phased out. Since the late 1990s, there have been calls for restrictions or curbs on the use of CFC replacements and other greenhouse gases that are believed to contribute to global warming.
CFCs have been used as etching agents and refrigerants in the manufacture of semiconductors. Halons have been used as fire extinguishing agents. These substances are subject to regulations to mitigate ozone layer depletion and global warming, giving rise to the need for environmentally friendly alternatives.
In response to this social issue, we have commercialized CF3I, an environmentally friendly substance with a low global warming potential (GWP). For more information on the NEDO project , please visit the website at the link below.
