Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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
Based on the molecular structure, hydrolysis is not expected to be a relevant degradation mechanism for hexafluoro-1,3-butadiene in the environment. Rather, the substance tends to oxidize rapidly in the atmosphere via reactions with photochemically produced OH-radicals (Acerboni et al., 2001). Its atmospheric lifetime was estimated to be 1.1 to 1.9 days in two different studies (Acerboni et al., 2001; Wallington and Hurley, 2011). It is not expected to contribute to ozone depletion or global warming (100-year GWP: 0.027). The degradation products identified, carbonyl fluoride and trifluoroacetyl fluoride, are then incorporated into raindrops/aerosols when in contact with the water phase in the atmosphere, and can be further converted to hydrogen fluoride, carbon dioxide and trifluoroacetic acid.
Additional information
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.
