A colorless gas soluble in alcohol and ether, and slightly less soluble in water. It is used as a dielectric in electronics. It possesses the highest 100-year Global Warming Potential of any gas (23 [..]

A colorless gas soluble in alcohol and ether, slightly soluble in water. A very powerful greenhouse gas used primarily in electrical transmission and distribution systems and as a dielectric in electronics. The global warming potential of SF6 is 22,800. This GWP is from the IPCC's Fourth Assessment Report (AR4). See Global Warming Potential. [..]

Sulfur hexafluoride (SF6) is an absolutely inert gas under normal conditions. However, when applied as process gas in a plasma, SF6 generates highly reactive fluorine atoms and sulfur fluoride radicals. Hence, SF6 constitutes one of the most aggressive plasma process gases (⇒ tetrafluoromethane).
