Ecological properties
Mobility
Air, Henry's law : 15 kPa.m³/mol
constant (H) ca Result: considerable volatility
Conditions: 20°C /calculated value
Water, evaporation : t ½ = 3 hour(s)
Conditions: calculated value from mathematical
model/river
Soil/sediments, adsorption : log KOC from 1.6 - 2
Conditions: calculated value
Abiotic degradation
Air, indirect photo-oxidation : t ½ ca. 15 year(s)
Conditions : Sensitizer: OH radicals
Degradation's products :Carbon dioxide / hydrofluoric
Air, photolysis : ODP = 0
Reference value for CFC 11: ODP = 1
Air, greenhouse effect, GWP : = 1300
Reference value for CO2 for 100 years
Water/soil, hydrolysis : t ½ > 10,000 year(s)
Result: non-significant hydrolysis
Conditions: calculated value
Biotic degradation
Aerobic, test : ready biodegradability / modified STURM
Degradation = 5 %, 28 day(s)
Result: non-readily biodegradable
