General description
1,1,1,2-Tetrafluoroethane is used as a trifluorovinylating agent in organic synthesis. It is identified as a potential refrigerant used in place of chlorofluorocarbons. 1,1,1,2-Tetrafluoroethane can also be used as a solvent and medical propellant for a wide range of applications. It is used to extract materials of natural origin like natural flavors, fragrances, and nutraceuticals.
Application
1,1,1,2-Tetrafluoroethane can be used:
- As a solvent in the preparation of cross-linked polymer microspheres through the dispersion polymerization method.
- As a porogenic solvent in the preparation of porous polymethacrylate monolith via free radical polymerization.
- In the synthesis of trifluorovinyllithium, a key intermediate for the preparation of 2-halo-2,3-dideoxy-arabinose derivatives of biological importance.
Packaging
Supplied in a Sure/Pac™ cylinder and has a brass needle valve with a male 1/4" NPTF outlet thread installed. Before using the cylinder, ensure that the valve is closed, then remove the galvanized steel hex cap that seals the outlet valve.

In situ high-pressure tensiometry and ab initio calculations were used to rationally design surfactants for the 1,1,1,2-tetrafluoroethane-water (HFA134a|W) interface. Nonbonded pair interaction (binding) energies (E(b)) of the complexes between HFA134a and candidate surfactant tails were used to quantify the HFA-philicity

In response to recent regulations and concern over climate change, the global automotive community is evaluating alternatives to the current refrigerant used in automobile air conditioning units, 1,1,1,2-tetrafluoroethane, HFC-134a. One potential alternative is 2,3,3,3-tetrafluoropropene (HFC-1234yf, also known as HFO-1234yf). We

A combined computational and experimental approach is used to determine the interfacial thermodynamic and structural properties of the liquid 1,1,1,2-tetrafluoroethane (HFA134a)-vapor and liquid HFA134a-water (HFA134a|W) interfaces at 298 K and saturation pressure. Molecular dynamics (MD) computer simulations reveal a stable
