AZEOTROPIC AND AZEOTROPE-LIKE COMPOSITIONS OF E-1-CHLORO-3,3,3-TRIFLUOROPROPENE AND A PENTANE AND USES THEREOF

摘要

Azeotrope-like compositions are disclosed. The azeotrope-like compositions are mixtures of E-1-chloro-3,3,3-trifluoropropene and cyclopentane, isopentane, or n-pentane. Also disclosed is a process of preparing a thermoplastic or thermoset foam by using such azeotrope-like compositions as blowing agents. Also disclosed is a process of producing refrigeration by using such azeotrope-like compositions. Also disclosed is a process of using such azeotrope-like compositions as solvents. Also disclosed is a process of producing an aerosol product by using such azeotrope-like compositions. Also disclosed is a process of using such azeotrope-like compositions as heat transfer media. Also disclosed is a process of extinguishing or suppressing a fire by using such azeotrope-like compositions. Also disclosed is a process of using such azeotrope-like compositions as dielectrics.
