HFO1234ze
HFO1234ze, also known as trans-1-hydroxy-1,1,1,2,3,3,3-heptafluoropropane, is a hydrofluoroolefin refrigerant. It has the chemical formula C3H2F6O. HFO1234ze is a colorless gas with a faint odor. It is primarily used as a propellant in aerosol products, a blowing agent for foam insulation, and a refrigerant in air conditioning systems. Its low global warming potential (GWP) and zero ozone depletion potential (ODP) make it an environmentally friendly alternative to older refrigerants.
The development of HFO1234ze was driven by environmental regulations aimed at phasing out substances that contribute
In aerosol applications, HFO1234ze replaced hydrofluorocarbons (HFCs) like HFC134a, which have higher GWPs. Its flammability is
HFO1234ze has undergone extensive testing and evaluation by regulatory bodies and industry associations to ensure its
