bleached with TCF?

Does this stay TCF in English or will it be tetrafluorochloro carbon?

From the same source:

The amount and type of organic material released from the pulps during washing, slushing and refining with different energy inputs at different chemical environments (salt concentration) was characterised. Hardwood pulps released considerably more organic substances than softwood pulps. Another significant effect was that the pulps that are TCF-bleached released more organic substance. Furthermore, salt concentration has a big influence on the amount of material released during beating. The higher the salt concentration the less material is released.
