Hydrochlorofluorocarbon (HCFC)
A class of chemicals being used to replace CFCs since they deplete stratospheric ozone to a much lesser extent than CFCs. These have ODPs ranging from 0.01 to 0.1. The production of these chemicals is being gradually phased out, with those with the highest ODPs going first. These will be replaced by HFCs or some other types of chemicals.
