Dichlorodifluoromethane (R-12), usually sold under the DuPont brand name Freon-12, is a chlorofluorocarbon halomethane, commonly known as CFC, used as a refrigerant and aerosol spray propellant. Its manufacture was banned in the United States and many countries in 1994 over concerns about damage that such compounds might do to the ozone layer if released into the atmosphere.
