CAS No. 593-53-3 Fluoromethane Supplier. Characteristics of Fluoromethane

The CAS number 593-53-3 corresponds to the chemical compound known as Fluoromethane or Methyl Fluoride, which is also sometimes referred to by its trade name, HFC-161 (Hydrofluorocarbon). Here are some characteristics and information about Fluoromethane:

Characteristics of Fluoromethane (HFC-161):
Chemical Formula: CH3F
Appearance: It is a colorless gas at room temperature.
Boiling Point: -57.1°C (149 K; -70.8°F)
Melting Point: -137.8°C (135.3 K; -216.0°F)
Solubility in Water: Slightly soluble.
Density: 0.98 g/cm³ at 25°C (0.60 lb/ft³).
Vapor Pressure: 1013 kPa at 25°C (146 psi).
Ozone Depletion Potential (ODP): 0 (it does not contribute to ozone depletion).
Global Warming Potential (GWP): 105 over a 100-year time horizon (much lower than many other fluorocarbons).
Uses: Fluoromethane has been used as a refrigerant, a propellant in aerosols, and as a feedstock for other chemicals. However, due to its high GWP, it may be subject to regulations under international agreements aimed at reducing greenhouse gas emissions.
Safety Information:
It is non-flammable but can displace oxygen and cause suffocation in confined spaces.
Inhalation may cause respiratory irritation and dizziness.
Direct contact with the cold gas or liquid can cause frostbite.
