Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

Any other information on results incl. tables

The HLC constant may be calculated from the equation below:


Ls = R x T x d/(HLC x MW)

Where Ls is the Ostwald coefficient for HFC-125 in water (Log Ls=-1.059), R is the universal gas constant (8.31 J K-1mol-1), T is the temperature (298.15 K), d and MW are the water density (1 x 106 g/m3) and Molecular weight (18 uma), respectively.
HLC (per unit mole fraction) = 1,559 MPa which can be converted to HLC [Pa m3/mol] by dividing for the conversion factor 55323, thus:
HLC = 28,180 Pa m3/mol
