Current Uses of Fluorochemicals
- By:Craig Elliott Elliott
There are many places where fluorochemicals are used and where they have become very popular. These uses are in chemical manufacturing and in the dental and medical fields. Fluorochemicals have unique chemical properties, thus they have become very popular.
Fluorochemicals are used in many different chemical ways. First of all, they are used for plasma etching in semiconductor manufacturing. They are also used to produce flat panel displays. They are also used in light bulbs. Fluorochemicals are also used in the production of several types of plastics, specifically Teflon. They were also used to make Freon.
Fluorine is used to make uranium hexafluoride. Fluorochemicals are also used in the synthesis of many different pharmaceuticals, agrochemical compounds, textiles, and lubricants.
Another place where fluorochemicals are used is in refrigeration and air conditioning. HFCs are used in the cooling mechanisms of refrigerators and air conditioners. They have become very popular do to the banning of the HCFCs. This is because HFCs do not have the same negative effect on the ozone layer as HCFCs.
Fluorochemicals can be used in pesticides, mainly in the agricultural industry. They are also used in a wide range of herbicides.
The other benefits of fluorine are in the dental and medical fields. They are used to make fluorides for dental hygiene. These fluorides have been used for many years and are very popular because they do a very good job of protecting your teeth against cavities. The fluorides are used in toothpastes, mouth washes, and also in fluoride rinses that are given at the dentist's office.
Not only are Fluorochemicals used in dental offices and in home dental care, but they are also used in the medical fields. They are used many times in general anesthesia because they are non-flammable. They are also used in the creating of antifungal drugs, as well as anti-depressant drugs, and also antibiotics.About the author:
