Chemical and Physical properties: Stable in normal condition, HFC-125 is odorless, colorless, electrically non-conductive, non-corrosive, and leaves no residue

Preparation

HFC-125 (pentafluoroethane) is made by process of gas-phase fluoridation between perchloroethylene (PCE) and hydrofluoric acid (HF). The intermediates of reaction are HCFC-123 and HCFC-124

Application

1) With zero ODP, HFC-125 is mainly used as a component of azeotropic blend refrigerant such as R-404a, R-407a, R-407b, R-407c, R-407d, R-410a and R410b (for more information, please see …).
2) HFC-125 is also used in clean agent fire suppression system in enclosed space with situations where water from a fire sprinkler would damage expensive equipment or where water-based fire protection is impractical, such as museums, banks, clean rooms and hospitals. It is altenative for CFC-502, Halon-1211 and Halon-1301
