Description

2-(Perfluorobutyl)Ethyl Methacrylate is a specialized fluorinated methacrylate monomer, a key building block for imparting unique surface properties to polymers. Its value lies in the introduction of a highly hydrophobic and oleophobic perfluorobutyl chain, which dramatically lowers surface energy. This makes it essential for manufacturers in the coatings, textiles, and specialty materials sectors seeking to create water-repellent, stain-resistant, and low-friction surfaces. The compound is identified by CAS number 1799-84-4.

Application

• Fluorinated Polymer Synthesis: A critical monomer for producing acrylic and methacrylic polymers with permanent, low surface energy characteristics.
• Stain-Resistant & Water-Repellent Coatings: Used in formulating high-performance coatings for textiles, leather, paper, and non-stick surfaces.
• Oil & Soil Release Finishes: Imparts oleophobicity to fibers and fabrics, enabling easy cleaning in industrial and consumer applications.
• Specialty Additives: Incorporated into lubricants, release agents, and surface modifiers to reduce friction and adhesion.
• Optical Materials: Used in the synthesis of fluorinated polymers for optical fibers and cladding materials due to low refractive index.
• Anti-fouling & Anti-icing Coatings: Contributes to marine and aerospace coatings designed to prevent biological fouling and ice accumulation.

Quality Control

Our 2-(Perfluorobutyl)Ethyl Methacrylate is produced under strict quality management protocols. Each batch undergoes rigorous analytical testing to ensure consistency, purity, and performance in your application. A comprehensive Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing assay, purity, and impurity profiles is provided with every shipment, ensuring full traceability and compliance with your material specifications.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, well-ventilated area at temperatures between 2°C and 8°C (refrigerated) to minimize volatility and polymerization risk. Due to its highly volatile nature, keep away from heat, sparks, and open flame. Containers should be kept tightly sealed when not in use.
