Abstract

The present invention relates to the simultaneous manufacture of difluoromethane (F32) and 1,1,1,2-tetrafluoroethane (F134a) by pyrolysis of chlorodifluoromethane in the presence of hydrogen, working at a temperature above 500.degree. C. in the absence of any catalyst or metal surface. Depending on the operating conditions chosen, this process also makes it possible predominantly to manufacture either F134a or F32.
