EnvironmentalProperties
Fluorochemicals & the Environment
Ozone Depletion → Cl and Br destroy ozone when they reach the stratosphere
F has been shown to be benign to O3
Compounds containing F as the only halogen are considered non-ozone depleting
Key Environmental Factors
Novec 1230 fluid is non-ozone depleting (Ozone Depletion Potential = 0)
Climate Change/ → All organic compoundsGlobal Warming emitted to the atmosphere
can act as greenhouse gases
Effect or potency of a greenhouse gas is function of infrared absorbance and atmospheric lifetime and expressed as a Global Warming Potential (GWP)
GWP is calculated of a 100 year time horizon and represents mass of CO2 equivalent to emission of one unit of
this compound
Key Environmental Factors
IR Absorbance → Like all fluorinated compounds,Novec 1230 fluid absorbs IRenergy while in the atmosphere
Atmospheric → Unlike most fluorinated compounds, Lifetime Novec 1230 fluid degrades rapidly in the
lower atmosphere by reaction with sunlight(photolysis) leading to very short lifetime measured in days rather than years, decades or centuries
Climate Change / Global Warming
Key Environmental Factors
Global Warming → Its very short Potential (GWP) atmospheric lifetime
leads to very low GWP (GWP = 1 using 100 yr ITH)
