CFC = CHLORINE FLORINE CARBON aka CHLORO-FLRO-CARBON.
Its a volatile derivative of methane, ethane, and propane. They are also commonly known by the DuPont brand name Freon.
The manufacture of such compounds has been phased out under the Montreal Protocol, and are being replaced with products such as HFCs (e.g., R-410A), hydrocarbons, and CO2, because CFCs contribute to ozone depletion in the upper atmosphere.
