fluorocarbon
Non-stick coating chemical
A fluorocarbon is a chemical compound in which fluorine atoms replace some or all hydrogen atoms in a hydrocarbon molecule.
Fluorocarbons include refrigerants, propellants, and nonstick coatings like Teflon.
Chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs), once common in aerosol sprays, were phased out after scientists linked them to ozone depletion.
