I don’t know what the main products driving demand for freon were—I didn’t look that up. That line was just referencing the fact that the motivation to synthesize Freon in the first place was for use in refrigerators.
It took 10 years from mass residential refrigeration to lead to use of CFCs. It took another half-century to detect atmospheric CFCs and the damage they were causing.
This makes it sound like it’s an important point in the timeline, that substantial use of CFCs can be dated to c1930. This seems fundamentally wrong to me.
If you want to suggest different language that gets the point across that I’m trying to make here, I’ll be happy to paste it in. It would be better if you could figure out the answer to the question you originally posed about the major drivers of commercial Freon demand so that substantial new information could be added to the story.
