Sulfur hexafluoride

Sulfur hexafluoride (SF6) is a colorless gas soluble in alcohol and ether, and slightly less soluble in water. It is used as a dielectric in electronics and in the making of plastics for toys. It is also sometimes used for medical ultrasound imaging.[1] It is classified as an irritant, and can cause adverse reactions upon exposure.[2]

Sulfur hexafluoride possesses the highest 100-year global warming potential of any gas (23,900).[3]
