Hexafluoropropylene Usage And Synthesis |
Chemical Properties |
colourless gas |
General Description |
Hexafluoropropylene is an odorless, colorless gas. Hexafluoropropylene is noncombustible. Hexafluoropropylene can asphyxiate by the displacement of air. Exposure of the container to prolonged heat or fire can cause Hexafluoropropylene to rupture violently and rocket. |
Reactivity Profile |
Halogenated aliphatic compounds, such as Hexafluoropropylene, are moderately or very reactive. Reactivity generally decreases with increased degree of substitution of halogen for hydrogen atoms. Materials in this group may be incompatible with strong oxidizing and reducing agents. Also, they may be incompatible with many amines, nitrides, azo/diazo compounds, alkali metals, and epoxides. Above a minimum oxygen pressure, the reaction of oxygen difluoride and hexafluoropropene to yield the Hexafluoropropylene oxide becomes explosive, Chem. Abs., 1987, 107, 175302. The reaction of hexafluoropropene with grignard reagent (subst. phenylmagnesium bromides) led to explosion, Fluorine Chem., 1981, 18, 25. |
Health Hazard |
Vapors may cause dizziness or asphyxiation without warning. Vapors from liquefied gas are initially heavier than air and spread along ground. Contact with gas or liquefied gas may cause burns, severe injury and/or frostbite. Fire may produce irritating, corrosive and/or toxic gases. |
Fire Hazard |
Some may burn but none ignite readily. Containers may explode when heated. Ruptured cylinders may rocket. |
