Chloropentafluoroethane
Chloropentafluoroethane is a chlorofluorocarbon once used as a refrigerant and also known as R-115 and CFC-115. Its production and consumption has been banned since 1 January 1996 under the Montreal Protocol because of its high ozone depletion potential and very long lifetime when released into the environment. CFC-115 is also a potent greenhouse gas.
Atmospheric properties
The atmospheric abundance of CFC-115 rose from 8.4 parts per trillion in year 2010 to 8.7 ppt in 2020 based on analysis of air samples gathered from sites around the world.| Property | Value |
| Ozone depletion potential | 0.44 |
| Global warming potential | 5,860 - 7,670 |
| Atmospheric lifetime | 1,020 - 1,700 years |
