Tetrafluoroethane R134a is a hydrofluorocarbon (HFC) refrigerant widely replacing CFC-12. Synthesized via hydrofluorination of 1,1,2-trichloro-1,2,2-trifluoroethane, its molecular formula is C2H2F4 with CAS 811-97-2.
Store in well-ventilated areas away from ignition sources. While non-flammable under standard conditions, it decomposes into toxic fluorides at high temperatures. Use appropriate PPE to prevent frostbite during handling due to rapid expansion cooling.
