R-11, which redirects here, was also the first of a family of theatre ballistic missiles better known as the Scud.

Trichlorofluoromethane, also called freon-11 or R-11, was the first widely used refrigerant. Because of its high boiling point, it can be used in systems with a low operating pressure, making the mechanical design of such systems less demanding than that of higher-pressure refrigerants R-12 or R-22.

Because of the high chlorine content and the ease with which the chlorine atoms can be displaced when the molecule is subject to ultraviolet light, R-11 has the highest ozone depletion potential (1.0) of any refrigerant.

CAS #75-69-4
