CAS 359-35-3

1,1,2,2-tetrafluoroethane

Description:

1,1,2,2-Tetrafluoroethane, with the CAS number 359-35-3, is a colorless, odorless gas at room temperature and pressure. It belongs to the class of hydrofluorocarbons (HFCs) and is characterized by its four fluorine atoms attached to a two-carbon ethane backbone. This compound is non-flammable and has a relatively low boiling point, making it useful as a refrigerant in various cooling applications. Its chemical stability and low toxicity contribute to its appeal as an alternative to ozone-depleting substances. However, it is a potent greenhouse gas, with a significant global warming potential, which raises environmental concerns regarding its use. 1,1,2,2-Tetrafluoroethane is also utilized in aerosol propellants and as a solvent in certain industrial processes. Its physical properties include a moderate vapor pressure and a high heat of vaporization, which are advantageous in refrigeration cycles. Overall, while it serves important industrial functions, its environmental impact necessitates careful management and consideration in usage.
