Octafluoropropane (C3F8) is the perfluorocarbon counterpart to the hydrocarbon propane. This non-flammable and non-toxic synthetic substance has applications in semiconductor production and medicine. It is also an extremely potent greenhouse gas.
==Manufacture== Octafluoropropane can be produced either by electrochemical fluorination or by the Fowler process using cobalt fluoride.
