Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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.

GWP: 3500 (100 years time horizon)
Key value for chemical safety assessment
Additional information
The atmospheric degradation for HFC 227ea involves the initial reaction with hydroxyl radicals in the troposphere.
The constant rate for the OH radicals-mediated photodegradation has been experimentally determined by several groups. Tokuhashi al. (2004) reports a rate constant of 1.34 ± 0.08 × 10 -15cm3/molecule/sec at 298 °K. A similar value of 1.7 × 10 -15cm3/molecule/sec is listed in Evaluation Number 14 of JPL NASA (2003), as a result of a combined fit of different experimental data.
The global atmospheric lifetime of HFC 227ea is listed in the IPCC third assessment (2001). An official value of 33 years was estimated considering the tropospheric lifetime, relative to CH3CCl3, at 272 °K, a default stratospheric loss of 8% of the tropospheric loss and an oceanic lifetime of 10650 years.
A global warming potential of 3500 was calculated for a time horizon of 100 years, by considering the calculated global atmospheric lifetime and a radiative efficiency of 0.30 Wm-2ppb-1 (IPCC, 2001)
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.
