Description

2-(Perfluorooctyl)Ethyl Methacrylate is a specialized fluorinated acrylate monomer, a key building block for imparting exceptional surface properties to polymers. Its value lies in the introduction of a long perfluoroalkyl chain, which provides outstanding oil and water repellency, low surface energy, and chemical resistance. This makes it essential for manufacturers in the coatings, textiles, and specialty materials sectors seeking to create high-performance, durable, and easy-to-clean surfaces.

Application

• Fluorinated Polymer Synthesis: A critical monomer for producing side-chain fluorinated polymers and copolymers with tailored surface characteristics.
• Oil & Water Repellent Coatings: Used to formulate advanced protective coatings for textiles, leather, paper, and non-woven fabrics, providing stain resistance.
• Low Surface Energy Materials: Essential in creating release coatings, anti-graffiti paints, and anti-fouling marine coatings.
• Specialty Additives: Incorporated as a modifying agent in resins and plastics to enhance chemical resistance and reduce surface friction.
• Optical and Electronic Materials: Employed in the development of fluorinated components for optical fibers and electronic encapsulants due to its stability and low refractive index.
• Surface Modification: Used for grafting onto various substrates to create permanently hydrophobic and oleophobic surfaces.

Quality Control

Every batch of 2-(Perfluorooctyl)Ethyl Methacrylate is produced and tested under a strict quality management system. We ensure high purity and consistency through advanced analytical techniques including GC, HPLC, and NMR. A comprehensive Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing purity, identity, and impurity profiles is provided with each shipment to guarantee it meets your specific application requirements.

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). Keep away from strong acids, bases, and sources of ignition. For long-term storage, consider under an inert atmosphere to maintain monomer integrity and prevent premature polymerization.
