Regulatory evidence across markets

None of the 13 markets tracked here holds an imported rule under the name HYDROCHLOROFLUOROCARBON 142B.

That is a statement about this inventory, not about the law: no imported rule is not evidence that a substance is permitted. A rule may exist under a different name, under a CAS or EC number this glossary entry does not carry, or in a dataset not yet imported.

CAS 75-68-3PubChem CID 6388

1-Chloro-1,1-difluoroethane

1-chloro-1,1-difluoroethane appears as a colorless, odorless gas shipped as a liquid under own vapor pressure. Contact with the unconfined liquid may cause frostbite by evaporative cooling. Easily ignited. Vapors heavier than air. A leak may be either liquid or vapor. May asphyxiate by the displacement of air. Prolonged exposure to fire or intense heat may cause the containers to violently rupture and rocket. — CAMEO Chemicals
