HFC-236fa Fire Extinguishing Agent
HFC-236fa is a hydrofluorocarbon developed in recent years. It can be used as a refrigerant and a fire extinguishing agent. It is suitable for filling portable fire extinguishing equipment, used for fire extinguishing in open and semi-open spaces, and also suitable for use in full flooding fire extinguishing systems in places with people.
HFC-236fa Use
It is suitable for filling portable fire extinguishing equipment, used for fire extinguishing in open and semi-open spaces, and also suitable for use in full flooding fire extinguishing systems in places with people.
HFC-236fa fire extinguishing agent is mainly used to replace the Halon 1211 fire extinguishing agent and is suitable for protecting high-value equipment such as computer rooms, communication facilities and aircraft. HFC-236fa fire extinguishing agent is clean, colorless and odorless, and is suitable for places that require high protection because it does not leave any residue and will not cause damage to equipment.
HFC-236fa Properties
Chemical stability
At room temperature and pressure, HFC-236fa is a stable compound that is non-flammable, non-flammable, and non-polymerizable. However, it will decompose when in contact with open flames or high-temperature hot surfaces, producing highly toxic carbonyl fluoride and highly corrosive HF. HFC236fa is incompatible with alkali metals and will burn and explode when in contact with strong oxidants.
Compatibility
High-density polyethylene, polystyrene, polypropylene, ABS, polycarbonate, polymethyl methacrylate, etc., have good compatibility with HFC-236fa. Cycloalkane, aliphatic hydrocarbon, and alkylbenzene lubricants have poor miscibility with HFC-236fa, so they cannot be used in refrigeration equipment using HFC-236fa as a working fluid.
HFC-236fa Advantages
Environmental protection: HFC-236fa has an ODP value of zero and a relatively low GWP value, which has little impact on the environment.
High efficiency: It can quickly extinguish fires and is suitable for various types of fires.
Clean: No residue will be left after use, and no damage will be caused to the equipment.
HFC-236fa Production
There are two main methods for producing HFC-236fa: 1) Liquid phase fluorination method with hexachloropropane and hydrogen fluoride as raw materials; 2) Gas phase fluorination method with hexachloropropane and hydrogen chloride as raw materials. The first production method is widely used for its convenient operation and economy.
Difference between HFC-236fa and HFC-227ea
1. There are significant differences in the chemical and physical properties of HFC-236fa and HFC-227ea. The molecular formula of hexafluoropropane (HFC-236fa) is C3H2F6, the molecular weight is 166.03, the boiling point is 35℃, the density is 1.25g/cm³, it has strong solubility and can be miscible with many solvents. The molecular formula of heptafluoropropane (HFC-227ea) is C3HF7, the molecular weight is 187.04, the boiling point is -16.4℃, the density is 1.32g/cm³, and it has good lubricity and miscibility.
2. They also differ in application scenarios. HFC-236fa is suitable for fire extinguishing in electronic equipment, precision instruments, aerospace and other places due to its low boiling point and high volatility. HFC-236fa is mainly used for fire extinguishing in fire extinguishing cabinets, sending rooms, ventilation ducts and other places. It can suppress flames in a short time, causes little damage to objects, and does not produce corrosive substances. It is suitable for a variety of fires and equipment with high value.
3. The physical and chemical properties of heptafluoropropane are as follows: It is a colorless, odorless gas that is non-conductive, does not pollute the protected object, and has no destructive effect on the atmospheric ozone layer. Heptafluoropropane can reliably extinguish Class B and C fires and electrical fires at a lower fire extinguishing concentration, has a small storage space, a high critical temperature, a low critical pressure, and does not contain particles or oily residues after release.
