Abstract

Provided are compositions, preferably azeotrope or azeotrope-like compositions including 1,1,1,4,4,4-hexafluoro-2-butene and chlorotrifluoropropene, particularly 1-chloro-3,3,3-trifluoropropene (HCFO-1233zd), and uses thereof of the compositions. The composition may be a heat transfer composition. The composition may be a blowing agent composition. The composition may be a solvent composition. The composition may be a sprayable composition.

Claims (24)

1. A foamable composition, wherein the foamable composition comprises a blowing agent and one or more components capable of reacting and foaming under conditions to form a foam or cellular structure,

wherein the blowing agent comprises trans-1,1,1,4,4,4-hexafluoro-2-butene and 2-chloro-3,3,3-trifluoropropene.

2. The foamable composition according to claim 1 , wherein the blowing agent comprises from 1 to 99% by weight of trans-1,1,1,4,4,4-hexafluoro-2-butene and from 1 to 99% by weight of 2-chloro-3,3,3-trifluoropropene.

3. The foamable composition according to claim 1 , wherein the blowing agent comprises from 60 to 99% by weight of trans-1,1,1,4,4,4-hexafluoro-2-butene and from 1 to 40% by weight of 2-chloro-3,3,3-trifluoropropene.

4. A method of forming foam comprising reacting and foaming the foamable composition of claim 1 to form a foam.

5. A method of cleaning comprising applying a solvent on a surface and treating the surface, wherein the solvent comprises trans-1,1,1,4,4,4-hexafluoro-2-butene and 2-chloro-3,3,3-trifluoropropene.

6. The method of cleaning according to claim 5 , wherein the solvent comprises from 1 to 99% by weight of trans-1,1,1,4,4,4-hexafluoro-2-butene and from 1 to 99% by weight of 2-chloro-3,3,3-trifluoropropene.

7. The method of cleaning according to claim 5 , wherein the solvent comprises from 60 to 99% by weight of trans-1,1,1,4,4,4-hexafluoro-2-butene and from 1 to 40% by weight of 2-chloro-3,3,3-trifluoropropene.

8. A spray, wherein the spray comprises trans-1,1,1,4,4,4-hexafluoro-2-butene and 2-chloro-3,3,3-trifluoropropene, wherein the spray is formed by an aerosol.

9. A spray, wherein the spray comprises trans-1,1,1,4,4,4-hexafluoro-2-butene and 2-chloro-3,3,3-trifluoropropene, wherein the spray is selected from the group consisting of: deodorants, perfumes, hair sprays, cleansers, polishing agents, anti-asthma and anti-halitosis medications.

10. A heat transfer fluid, wherein the heat transfer fluid comprises trans-1,1,1,4,4,4-hexafluoro-2-butene, 2-chloro-3,3,3-trifluoropropene, and a lubricant.

11. The heat transfer fluid according to claim 10 , wherein the lubricant is selected from the group consisting of: mineral oils, silicone oils, and polyalkylene glycol oils.

12. The heat transfer fluid according to claim 10 , wherein the heat transfer fluid is configured for heat pumps operating at condensation temperature up to 140° C.

13. The heat transfer fluid according to claim 10 , wherein the heat transfer fluid comprises from 1 to 99% by weight of trans-1,1,1,4,4,4-hexafluoro-2-butene and from 1 to 99% by weight of 2-chloro-3,3,3-trifluoropropene.

14. The heat transfer fluid according to claim 10 , wherein the heat transfer fluid comprises from 60 to 99% by weight of trans-1,1,1,4,4,4-hexafluoro-2-butene and from 1 to 40% by weight of 2-chloro-3,3,3-trifluoropropene.

15. The heat transfer fluid according to claim 10 , wherein the heat transfer fluid is azeotropic or azeotrope-like.

16. A heat transfer system comprising heat exchangers and a heat transfer fluid, wherein the heat exchangers include counterflow, counterflow-like, or cross-flow heat exchangers, and wherein the heat transfer fluid comprises trans-1,1,1,4,4,4-hexafluoro-2-butene and 2-chloro-3,3,3-trifluoropropene.

17. A composition comprising trans-1,1,1,4,4,4-hexafluoro-2-butene, 2-chloro-3,3,3-trifluoropropene, and at least one additive selected from the group consisting of stabilizers, metal passivators, and corrosion inhibitors.

18. A heat transfer system according to claim to claim 16 , wherein the heat transfer fluid further comprises a lubricant.

19. A heat transfer system according to claim to claim 16 , wherein the heat transfer fluid further comprises at least one additive selected from the group consisting of stabilizers, metal passivators, and corrosion inhibitors.

20. A sprayable composition including a propellant comprising trans-1,1,1,4,4,4-hexafluoro-2-butene and 2-chloro-3,3,3-trifluoropropene, wherein the sprayable composition is selected from the group consisting of: deodorants, perfumes, hair sprays, cleansers, polishing agents, anti-asthma medications and anti-halitosis medications.

21. A foamed thermoplastic comprising a polymer resin and a blowing agent, wherein the blowing agent comprises trans-1,1,1,4,4,4-hexafluoro-2-butene and 2-chloro-3,3,3-trifluoropropene.

22. The foamed thermoplastic according to claim 21 , wherein the polymer resin comprises a polyol formulation.
