Soft CFC's, they added hydrogen to the CFC's previously used that were called hard CFC's. By doing this it won't allow the CFC's to travel up to the stratosphere, where it breaks down the ozone. With the added hydrogen will stop it in the troposphere and combine to form compounds such as CO2 + HCl (or HF), therefore not harmful to the ozone.
Examples CH2Cl (HCFC-22) or CHCl2-CF2 (HCFC-123)

Give name of a few of CFC that werw used in a refrigerator.?
CFC's are used in refrigerators. One of a CFC is R-12.
What are cfcs used for?
Its used in the compressors of refrigerators and air- conditioners
Which 2 things are used in refrigerators are harmful for ozone layer?
CFC's are used in refrigerators. They are extremely harmful for ozone layer.
What are the sources of cfc's in the atmosphere?
the source of cfc is mainly from refrigerators n ac's...increase in the emission of cfc may lead to a hole in the ozone layer,the result of which is harmful rays such as ultra violet rays reaching out to people which causes skin cancer
What are CFCs and what are their sources?
CFC's are chlorofluorocarbons. They are made in industry for the use of refrigeration. Firstly they were thought of miracle compounds. But in 1985 everything changed when Dr. Farman and Dr. Mario Molina discovered that there is a hole in the layer of earth protecting us from the harmful UV radiation. The hole was due to these CFC's only. What these CFC's do is that are carried by westerly's to the poles. Due to the low temperature, they take polar stratospheric clouds as the base or catalysts and perform depletion. They decompose the ozone to form their oxide and that oxide again decomposes to form the original element. This is a chain reaction. A single CFC molecule can destroy over 100,000 molecules of ozone. The main sources of CFC's in day to day life are:DeodorantsAir Conditioners'Aerosol CansSpray CansVehicles Exhaust.
What is used in refrigerators instead of CFC's?
METHANE
Which gas is used in refrigerators?
cfc

Which 2 things are used in refrigerators are harmful for ozone layer?
CFC's are used in refrigerators. They are extremely harmful for ozone layer.
Is there cfc in refrigerators?
CFC's are mainly there in refrigerators only. They act as cooling agent i.e. they perform the main work.
What compounds are used in refrigerators?
The compound used in older refrigerators was Chloroflurocarbons which is commomly called as CFC's and the recent ones uses compounds of florides and Hydroflurocarbons which is commonly called as HFC's. CFC's are replaced by HFC's due to their reactivity with the Ozone layer and causes depletion. Hope this helps.
Ozone freindly chemicals used by cfcs?
Nowadays we have alternatives for CFC's. These are called HCFC's.
What is the relationship between deplete the ozone layer and the refrigerants?
Ozone depletion is due to CFC's. These CFC's are released from refrigerators.
What are the uses of chloroflourocarbon?
CFC's have uses in household as well. It is used in deodorant, refrigerators, air conditioners, aerosol sprays etc.
Does refrigerator release CFC outside of cabinat while working?
I THINK there is a ban on CFC refrigerators in many countries already.
What first caused the ozone layer depletion?
In the past the chemical CFC (chlorofluorocarbons) was used in refrigerators however a few decades ago it was phased out
