I know it is an additive used in gasoline and some other petroleum products. Do a Google search on it. The above answer is incorrect. It was a refrigerant and aerosol spray propellant until its manufacture was discontinued in 1995. It was usually sold under the brand name Freon-12.

Chloro-Fluoro-Carbons (CFC's)
CFC is an abbreviation for the class of chemical compounds known as Chloro-Fluoro-Carbons.
van der Vaals forces of attraction and dipole-dipole interaction
All scientists are concerned about the ozone layer, but since international action to stop production of CFCs (Chloro-fluoro-carbons) the problem is not as bad as before.
Another name for is is
Because no list of possible compounds from which to choose is given, presumably a generalized answer is desired. There is probably no exhaustive list, but methane and its tetra-fluoro, -chloro, -bromo, and -iodo derivatives would be included, along with the corresponding silanes.
chloro fluoro carbon and hydro fluoro carbon. CFCs.
The molecule has 1 carbon in it, so its base name is methane. From there you just list off the substituents in alphabetical order as prefixes: chlorodifluoroiodomethane. chlorine = chloro fluorine = fluoro iodine = iodo

CH3F - monofluoro methane or fluoro methane CH2F2 - difluoro methane CHF3 - trifluoroo methane CF4 - tetrafluoro methane
CFC is an abbreviation for the class of chemical compounds known as Chloro-Fluoro-Carbons.
Tetra aqua chloro nitro cobalt 3 bromide
Tetrachloromethane is CCl4
PTFE stands for: Poly Tetra Fluoro Ethylene Much better known as Teflon. A PTFE seal is a Teflon seal.
When a ozone (O3) atom comes into conyact with a chloro-fluoro-carbon they react and the end result is more green house gasses than ozone
The systematic name of the compound CCl3F is trichlorofluoromethane.
