It should not be confused with the much more commonly used HFC gas R-134a, nor confused with the isomeric compound 1,1,2-trifluoroethane. 1,1,1-Trifluoroethane has a critical temperature of 73 °C.Schoen J.

It is also used as a propellant in canned air products used to clean electronic equipment.

Abundances are given as pollution free monthly mean mole fractions in parts-per-trillion. Unlike CFCs used as refrigerants, trifluoroethane has no chlorine atoms and therefore is not ozone-depleting. Its high chemical stability and infra-red absorbency make it a potent greenhouse gas with a lifetime of about 50 years and a global warming potential of 4300, which are at the high end compared to many other commonly used HFC refrigerants.https://www.ipcc.ch/report/ar5/wg1/ Chapter 8 AR5 Climate Change 2013: The Physical Science Basis 731Refrigerants - Environmental Properties http://www.engineeringtoolbox.com/Refrigerants-Environment-Properties-d_1220.html The Engineering ToolBox 2016-09-12 Its abundance in the atmosphere more than doubled from about 10 parts per trillion (ppt) in 2010 to near 25 ppt in 2020.
