Environment HFC-365mfc

HFC-365mfc (1,1,1,3,3-pentafluorobutane)

Ecological properties

Mobility
Air, Henry's law constant (H) ca : 3.8 kPa.m³/mol
Result: considerable volatility
Conditions: 20°C /calculated value

Soil/sediments, adsorption : log KOC ca. 1.8
Conditions: calculated value

Abiotic degradation
Air, indirect photo-oxidation : t ½ ca.7.04 year(s)

Air, photolysis, ODP : = 0
Result: no effect on stratospheric ozone
Reference value for CFC 11: ODP = 1

Air, greenhouse effect, GWP : = 890
Reference value for CO2 = 9.9 years

Biotic degradation
Aerobic, test : ready biodegradability/closed bottle, 13 %, 28 day(s)
Result: non-readily biodegradable

Potential for bioaccumulation
Bioconcentration : log P o/w ca. 1.61
Result: improbable bioaccumulation
Conditions: measured value

Comments : Product is persistent in air
(atmospheric lifetime: 1 at 100 years)
Hazard for the aquatic environment is limited due to
product properties:
· Considerable volatility
· Low bioaccumulation potential

Ecotoxicological properties

Acute ecotoxicity
Fishes, Brachidanio rerio, LC 50, 96 h >= 200 mg/l
Crustaceans, Daphnia magna, NOEC, 48 h > 200 mg/l
Algae, Selenastrum capricornutum, NOEC 72 h = 113 mg/l
