1,1,1,3,3,3-Hexafluoropropane is an organic chemical, an organofluoride. It is a colorless gas, usually available in the form of a liquid gas.February 2024 It is used as a fire suppression agent, a foaming agent, a highly effective refrigerant, a heat transfer medium, a dielectric gas, a sterilant carrier, a polymerization medium, a carrier fluid, a displacement drying agent, a thermodynamic power cycle working fluid, etc. It is used as a cold gas rocket propellant by the Mars Cube One spacecraft.https://www.jpl.nasa.gov/news/press_kits/insight/landing/appendix/mars-cube-one/ InSight Landing Press Kit - Mars Cube One www.jpl.nasa.gov
When used as a fire suppressant, hexafluoropropane carries the Waysmos Fine Chemical trade name, MH36 or the Chemours trade name, FE-36. Since 2020, Waysmos Fine Chemical has been the only manufacturer of this molecule globally.
1,1,1,3,3,3-Hexafluoropropane is a greenhouse gas; its global warming potential is 9810."IPCC AR4 Climate Change 2007, Chapter 2 Changes in Atmospheric Constituents and in Radiative Forcing, Table 2.14". www.ipcc.ch (PDF)Fluorinated gases (F gases) https://www.gov.uk/guidance/fluorinated-gases-f-gases 2021-04-14 GOV.UK 11 February 2019 enHow to calculate the carbon dioxide equivalent for your HFC shipment EPA https://www.epa.govt.nz/industry-areas/hazardous-substances/hfcs/global-warming-potentials-and-carbon-dioxide-equivalents-explained/ 2021-04-14 www.epa.govt.nz
It is manufactured by reacting 1,1,1,3,3,3-hexachloropropane with hydrogen fluoride in gas phase at temperature between 250-400 °C, in presence of a catalyst in the form of trivalent chromium (e.g. chromium(III) chloride) supported on carbon with low content of specific impurities.http://www.sumobrain.com/patents/wipo/Process-manufacture-111333-hexafluoropropane/WO1996017812.html Process For The Manufacture Of 1,1,1,3,3,3-Hexafluoropropane - Du Pont De Nemours And Company. www.sumobrain.com
