Vinyl Fluoride was first made up by a Belgian chemist named Frederic Swarts in 1901. Swarts used the reaction between zinc with 1,1-difluoro-2-bromoethane. Today Vinyl Fluoride is made up by the reactions between acetylene and hydrogen fluoride. Also, vinyl fluoride can cause cancer in humans.
 * __Vinyl Fluoride History:__**

Vinyl Fluoride is mainly used for the production of polyvinyl fluoride. Its polymers are virtually water/weather proof so it can be used for protective surfaces of buildings, pipes, and wall coverings because it is coated with aluminum, galvanized steel and cellulose materials. These all make its safe to use against any kind of weather. Dispite its importance, vinyl fluoride can cause cancer in the human body.
 * __Uses of Vinyl Fluoride:__**

Chemical properties incude those as listed above. It is used with aluminum, galvanized steel and cellulose materials to coat it to protect it from harsh weather.
 * __Chemical Properties of Vinyl Fluoride:__**

The natural abundance of vinyl Fluoride is zero. It was made from zinc and 1,1-difluoro-2-bromoethane. It was obtained by the mixture of these element and compound. It is found as a gas from the mixture.
