Halocarbon

Our fluorochemicals provide building blocks for pharmaceuticals and agricultural chemicals, offering the best way to introduce a trifluoromethyl group into your molecule.

We are the world’s leading producer of high quality trifluoroacetic acid (TFA) and trifluoroethanol (TFE) and related compounds.

Other growing areas are hexafluoroacetone derivatives, like hexafluoroisopropanol (HFIP), and difluoro compounds, like ethyl difluoroacetate (EDFA).

Halocarbon was the first in the US to make an operating-room-safe fluorinated anesthetic. 

We currently manufacture isoflurane and sevoflurane.

Halocarbon manufactures inert lubricants, nonflammable lubricants and other lubricants that are noncorrosive, hydrocarbon free and low in toxicity.

We offer a wide range of inert oils, inert greases and inert waxes to meet industry’s needs for safe handling of highly reactive and /or aggressive chemicals such as oxygen, chlorine, hydrogen peroxide, sulfur trioxide and nitric acid.

Halocarbon oils are also used as: inert process solvent, inert instrument fill fluid, non-flammable low-temperature bath fluid and metalworking fluid for molybdenum, tungsten and tantalum.
