Description

3-(Perfluorooctyl)Propyl Acrylate is a high-value fluorinated acrylate monomer, a key building block for imparting exceptional oil, water, and stain repellency to polymeric materials. Its unique perfluorinated side chain provides low surface energy and chemical resistance, making it critical for developing advanced functional surfaces. This product is essential for R&D and production in the specialty coatings, textile finishing, and high-performance polymer industries.

Application

• Fluorinated Polymer Synthesis: A key monomer for producing side-chain fluorinated polymers and copolymers with hydrophobic and oleophobic properties.
• Specialty Coatings & Surface Modifiers: Used to formulate water- and oil-repellent coatings for textiles, paper, leather, and non-woven fabrics.
• Anti-fouling & Release Coatings: Essential for creating low-surface-energy coatings that prevent adhesion of dirt, graffiti, or biological organisms.
• Advanced Material Research: Serves as a precursor for developing novel fluorinated materials with tailored surface characteristics in academic and industrial R&D.
• Electronics & Optics: Potential use in creating hydrophobic protective layers for electronic components and optical devices.
• Modification of Elastomers & Plastics: Incorporated to enhance the chemical resistance and reduce the surface tack of various polymer matrices.

Quality Control

Our 3-(Perfluorooctyl)Propyl Acrylate is manufactured under strict quality protocols to ensure batch-to-batch consistency and high purity. Each lot is analyzed using advanced techniques like Gas Chromatography (GC) and NMR to confirm identity and assay. A comprehensive Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing purity, moisture content, and inhibitor levels is provided with every shipment to support your quality assurance processes.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated place at room temperature (15-25°C). This material is light-sensitive and easily oxidized; for long-term storage, it is recommended to keep the container under an inert atmosphere such as nitrogen or argon to maintain stability and prevent polymerization.
