Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

No biodegradation studies were conducted with 1,3-Dioxole, 2,2,4-trifluoro-5-(trifluoromethoxy). However, based on the molecular structure, no significant biodegradation is expected in the environment because of fluorinated structure. Fluorochemical products can resist degradation by bases, oxidising and reducing agents, photolytic processes, microbes and metabolic processes (Shultz et al. 2003), as the carbon-fluorine bond is the strongest covalent bond existing (450 kJ/mol) in organic chemistry (O'Hagan, 2008).
