Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.
The new ECHA CHEM database has been released by ECHA, and it now contains all REACH registration data. There are more details on the transition of ECHA's published data to ECHA CHEM here.

Description of key information
Additional information
1,1,1,2 -tetrafluoroethane (HFC 134a) is released only to the atmosphere during manufacture and use.
Due to the high Henry's law constant ( 10220 Pa.m3/mol) and the predicted low adsorption potential (log kow = 1.06), HFC 134a is expected to distribute mainly to the atmospheric compartment following emission to the environment.
Fugacity-based Multimedia Environmental Model Level III (2002) was used to estimate the partitioning of HFC 134a into the environment, under the assumption that 100% release occurs in air. The Level III model's results indicate that HFC 134a would partition mainly into the air compartment (99.93%) with 0.07% and 0.01% in the water and soil compartments respectively.
Information on Registered Substances comes from registration dossiers which have been assigned a registration number. The assignment of a registration number does however not guarantee that the information in the dossier is correct or that the dossier is compliant with Regulation (EC) No 1907/2006 (the REACH Regulation). This information has not been reviewed or verified by the Agency or any other authority. The content is subject to change without prior notice.
