Get the gynchy mug.Freon is a trade name for a chemical envented by Dupont 70+ years ago to replace dangerous, poisonous or explosive gasses used for refrigeration. The chemical is the famous CFC. Comonly called R-12, however, there are many other refrigerants (like R-11, R-502). These chemicals were pulled out of production in 1995 due to environmental concerns. The actual environmental impact of CFCs has yet to be determined.
