Description

1H,1H-Perfluorohexyl Methacrylate is a high-value fluorinated acrylate monomer characterized by its perfluorinated alkyl side chain. This unique structure imparts exceptional properties such as extreme hydrophobicity, oleophobicity, chemical resistance, and low surface energy, making it a critical building block for advanced polymeric materials. It is essential for manufacturers and R&D chemists in the specialty coatings, electronics, and high-performance materials sectors seeking to engineer surfaces with specific non-stick, release, or protective characteristics.

Application

• Fluorinated Polymer Synthesis: A key monomer for producing side-chain fluorinated polymers and copolymers with tailored surface properties.
• Specialty Coatings & Surface Modifiers: Used to formulate highly water- and oil-repellent coatings for textiles, optics, membranes, and architectural surfaces.
• Release Coatings: Essential for manufacturing non-stick and easy-release surfaces in industrial molds, food processing equipment, and adhesive applications.
• Electronics & Microfabrication: Employed in photoresists and dielectric materials for semiconductor manufacturing due to its low dielectric constant and chemical stability.
• Medical Device Coatings: Used to create biocompatible, low-friction, and anti-fouling surfaces on catheters and implants.
• Additive for Performance Enhancement: Incorporated as a minor component in paints, lubricants, and plastics to significantly improve surface characteristics.

Quality Control

Our 1H,1H-Perfluorohexyl Methacrylate is manufactured under strict quality management systems. Each batch undergoes rigorous analytical testing, including chromatography (GC/HPLC) and spectroscopy (NMR, IR), to ensure high purity and consistency. A comprehensive Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing identity, assay, and impurity profiles is provided with every shipment to support your quality assurance and regulatory compliance needs.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated place at temperatures between 2°C and 8°C (refrigerated) or as specified on the label. This material is easily oxidized and should be stored under an inert atmosphere (e.g., nitrogen or argon) after opening to maintain stability and prevent polymerization. Keep away from heat, sparks, and open flame.
