High-purity 1,1,1,2,3,3-hexafluoropropane, method for producing same and use thereof
The present invention relates to a method for producing high-purity 1,1,1,2,3,3-hexafluoropropane and a composition containing mainly 1,1,1,2,3,3-hexafluoropropane, suitable for use as a cleaning agent in the semiconductor industry.
1. A composition comprising at least 99.9% by weight of 1,1,1,2,3,3-hexafluoropropane (HFC-236ea), wherein water is present in the composition in an amount of at most 190 ppm water, HF is present in an amount of at most 1 ppm HF, and 1,2,3,3,3-pentafluoropropene is present in an amount of at most 10 ppm 1,2,3,3,3-pentafluoropropene.
2. The composition as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the composition comprises HF in an amount of at most 0.1 ppm of HF.
3. A composition comprising at least 99.9% by weight of 1,1,1,2,3,3-hexafluoropropane (HFC-236ea), and one or more compound(s) selected from the group consisting of hexafluoropropene, 1,1,3,3,3-pentafluoropropene (HFO-1225zc), 1,1,2,3,3-pentafluoropropene (HFO-1225yc) and 3,3,3-trifluoropropene (HFO-1243zf), wherein the one or more compound(s) is present in the composition in an amount of at most 10 ppm.
