How does SF6 gas decompose in a circuit breaker?

During the interruption phase of the circuit-breaker, an electric arc is produced which tends to decompose the SF6 gas. The decomposition products are absorbed by special substances inside the poles, which act as molecular sieves. The probability of contact with decomposed SF6 is practically nil due to the sealed-for-life poles.
