“Freon” is a trade name for CFC and HCFC refrigerants used by DuPont. Other trade names include Allied-Signal’s “Genetron” and ICI’s “Arcton”. Various companies sell the same CFCs, HCFCs, HFCs, and other products under different names. The most common ozone-depleting refrigerants are CFC-12, R-502, and HCFC-22. R-502 is a blend of 48.8% HCFC-22 and 51.2% CFC-115.
