CAS 430-66-0

1,1,2-Trifluoroethane

Description:

1,1,2-Trifluoroethane, with the CAS number 430-66-0, is a colorless, odorless gas at room temperature and pressure, belonging to the class of hydrofluorocarbons (HFCs). It has a molecular formula of C2H3F3 and features three fluorine atoms attached to a two-carbon ethane backbone. This compound is known for its low global warming potential compared to other halogenated hydrocarbons, making it a more environmentally friendly alternative in applications such as refrigeration and aerosol propellants. 1,1,2-Trifluoroethane exhibits moderate solubility in water and is more soluble in organic solvents. It has a relatively low boiling point, which allows it to exist as a gas under standard conditions. The substance is non-flammable and has a low toxicity profile, although exposure should still be minimized due to potential health effects. Its stability under normal conditions makes it useful in various industrial applications, including as a solvent and in the production of other fluorinated compounds.
