Various uses of monochlorotrifluoropropenes, in combination with one or more other components, including other fluoroalkenes, hydrocarbons; hydrofluorocarbons (HFCs), ethers, alcohols, aldehydes, ketones, methyl formate, formic acid, water, trans-1,2-dichloroethylene, carbon dioxide and combinations of any two or more of these, in a variety of applications, including as blowing agents, are disclosed.

Disclosed herein are multi-component, azeotrope-like compositions containing trans-dichloroethylene, 1,1,1,3,3-pentafluorobutane, and 1,1,2,2-tetrafluoroethyl-2,2,2-trifluoroethyl ether. These compositions also form an azeotrope-like mixture with methanol. These compositions are useful as solvents in refrigeration flushing, oxygen system cleaning, foam blowing, and cleaning operations such as cold cleaning, vapor degreasing, and aerosol cleaners.

A blowing agent composition includes a blowing agent and a nucleating agent. The nucleating agent includes 1,2,2-trifluoro-1-trifluoromethylcyclobutane. The 1,2,2-trifluoro-1-trifluoromethylcyclobutane is present in the blowing agent composition in an amount from about 0.5 wt. % to about 7 wt. % of the blowing agent composition.

The present disclosure provides minimum-boiling, homogeneous azeotropic and azeotrope-like compositions of 1,2,2-trifluoro-1-trifluoromethylcyclobutane (TFMCB) with each of ethanol, n-pentane, cyclopentane, trans-1,2-dichloroethylene, and perfluoro(2-methyl-3-pentanone).

The use of compositions comprising 1,2,2-trifluoro-1-trifluoromethyl cyclobutane (TFMCB) as a solvent are disclosed, wherein the TFMCB may be formulated into solvent compositions including a co-solvent such as ethanol or trans-dichloroethylene (trans-DCE). The solvent compositions may be in the form of a sprayable aerosol composition, and may be used for applications including degreasing or removal of coatings such as paints and adhesives.

A heat transfer fluid including 1-trifluoromethyl-1,2,2-trifluorocyclobutane (TFMCB) for high temperature heat transfer applications and environmental and safety requirements, which is non-flammable (and has no flash point below 100 F.), has low toxicity, an ODP of <0.01 and a GWP of 44, is dielectric and electrically stable.

The present invention provides a cleaner composition having excellent cleaning properties and appropriate drying properties. The present invention is a cleaner composition including: (A) a hydrofluoroolefin having a boiling point of 30 C. or more and less than 100 C.; and (B) at least one of a perfluoropolyether having a boiling point of 100 C. or more and a hydrofluoroolefin having a boiling point of 100 C. or more, where a mass ratio of the component (A) and the component (B) is 99:1 to 55:45.

Disclosed herein are multi-component, azeotrope-like compositions containing trans-dichloroethylene, 1,1,1,3,3-pentafluorobutane, and 1,1,2,2-tetrafluoroethyl-2,2,2-trifluoroethyl ether. These compositions also form an azeotrope-like mixture with methanol. These compositions are useful as solvents in refrigeration flushing, oxygen system cleaning, foam blowing, and cleaning operations such as cold cleaning, vapor degreasing, and aerosol cleaners.

Provided are compositions, preferably azeotrope or azeotrope-like compositions including 1,1,1,4,4,4-hexafluoro-2-butene and chlorotrifluoropropene, particularly 1-chloro-3,3,3-trifluoropropene (HCFO-1233zd), and uses thereof of the compositions. The composition may be a heat transfer composition. The composition may be a blowing agent composition. The composition may be a solvent composition. The composition may be a sprayable composition.

The present invention relates to non-flammable compositions comprising chlorotrifluoropropene with reduced risk of flammability which are useful as refrigerants, heat transfer fluids, solvents, cleaners, blowing agents, aerosols, extraction fluids, and the like.
