Dichlorodifluoromethane ('''R-12'''), usually sold under the Brand Name '''Freon-12''', is a Chlorofluorocarbon Halomethane used as a Refrigerant and Aerosol Spray Propellant until its manufacture was discontinued in 1995 , due to concerns about damage to the Ozone Layer . The Ozone Depletion Potential of R-12 is 0.82, which is relatively high. However, as of 2005, it is still found along with Trichloromonofluoromethane in aerosols, for example USP-approved Albuterol . |
