Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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 with1,2-dichloro-1-[difluoro(trifluoromethoxy)methoxy]-1,2,2-trifluoroethane. However, basing on the molecular structure no significant biodegradation is expected in the environment because of the fluorinated structure.
Fluorochemical products can resist degradation by acids, bases, oxidising and reducing agents, photolytic processes, microbes, and metabolic processes (Schultz et al. 2003), as the carbon–fluorine bond is the strongest existing covalent bond (450 kJ/mol) in organic chemistry (O’Hagan, 2008). Moreover, the presence of three pairs of nonbonding electrons around each fluorine atom and the effective shielding of carbon by the fluorine atoms prevents any significant attack (Kissa 2001).
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.
