- At the Organic Reactions Catalysis Society meeting last spring a paper
- was presented by Leo Manzer of DuPont on their work on developing an
- alternative to chlorofluorocarbon refrigerants. Interest centers on
- HFC-134a, CF3CFH2. Contains no chlorine. Targeted for the 1994-1996
- time frame for phaseout of chlorofluorocarbons.
