As industries worldwide strive for greater sustainability, the environmental profile and safety of chemical compounds are under increasing scrutiny. Trans-1,3,3,3-tetrafluoropropene (HFO-1234ze(E)) has emerged as a critical alternative in applications like refrigeration and blowing agents, largely due to its favorable environmental characteristics. NINGBO INNO PHARMCHEM CO.,LTD., as a dedicated supplier of advanced fluorochemicals, believes in transparently communicating these important attributes.

One of the most significant advantages of HFO-1234ze(E) is its environmental footprint. Unlike older hydrofluorocarbons (HFCs) that possess high global warming potentials (GWPs), this hydrofluoroolefin boasts a GWP of less than 1. Furthermore, it has a zero ozone depletion potential (ODP=0). These properties make it a compliant and responsible choice for businesses aiming to reduce their environmental impact and adhere to international regulations like the Kigali Amendment to the Montreal Protocol. For procurement managers, selecting HFO-1234ze(E) signifies a commitment to sustainability.

In terms of safety, HFO-1234ze(E) is classified by ANSI/ASHRAE as an A2L refrigerant, indicating lower flammability and lower toxicity. While it is classified as flammable, it requires a higher energy source for ignition compared to highly flammable gases. This classification is a crucial consideration for handling, storage, and application design. Manufacturers and end-users must adhere to safety guidelines to ensure its proper and safe utilization in various industrial processes. Understanding these classifications is key when you decide to buy such chemicals.

The formation of trifluoroacetic acid (TFA) as a potential atmospheric breakdown product of HFOs has been a subject of scientific discussion. While TFA is persistent in the environment, studies suggest that the amounts generated from typical applications of HFO-1234ze(E), particularly in metered-dose inhalers, are considered negligible. NINGBO INNO PHARMCHEM CO.,LTD. stays abreast of scientific research to ensure our customers are well-informed about the materials we supply. We are committed to providing high-quality trans-1,3,3,3-tetrafluoropropene from our manufacturing facilities in China.
