The global market for chemicals from fluorine was about US$16 billion per year as of 2006. [1] The industry was predicted to reach 2.6 million metric tons per year by 2015. [2] The largest market is the United States. Western Europe is the second largest. Asia Pacific is the fastest growing region of production. [2]

Fluorinert is the trademarked brand name for the line of electronics coolant liquids sold commercially by 3M.As perfluorinated compounds (PFCs), all Fluorinert variants have an extremely high global warming potential (GWP), [1] so should be used with caution (see below).
In order to combat the potential global warming effects of F-gases, and as part of the EU's Kyoto protocol commitments, in 2006 the European Union passed two pieces of legislation controlling their use: the F-gas Regulation (EC) No 842/2006 and the Mobile Air Conditioning Directive Directive 2006/40/EC. The F-gas Regulation adopts an approach ...
It is commonly called fluorine rubber or fluoro-rubber. FKM is an abbreviation of Fluorine Kautschuk Material. [ 3 ] All FKMs contain vinylidene fluoride as the common monomer , to which different other monomers are added for specific types and functionalities, fitting the desired application.
Perfluoroalkanes are very stable because of the strength of the carbon–fluorine bond, one of the strongest in organic chemistry. [4] Its strength is a result of the electronegativity of fluorine imparting partial ionic character through partial charges on the carbon and fluorine atoms, which shorten and strengthen the bond (compared to carbon-hydrogen bonds) through favorable covalent ...
