Description

Perfluorooctyl Acrylate is a high-performance fluorinated acrylate monomer, a key building block for imparting exceptional surface properties to polymers. Its value lies in introducing the unique characteristics of perfluorinated chains—such as outstanding oil and water repellency, chemical resistance, and low surface energy—into acrylic-based materials. This compound is essential for formulators and manufacturers in the coatings, textiles, and specialty polymer industries seeking to develop advanced, durable surface treatments and functional materials.

Application

• Fluorinated Polymer Synthesis: A critical monomer for producing fluorinated acrylic polymers and copolymers with enhanced performance.
• Oil & Water Repellent Finishes: Used in formulations for textiles, leather, and nonwovens to create stain-resistant and hydrophobic surfaces.
• Specialty Coatings: Imparts low surface energy, release properties, and chemical resistance to industrial, marine, and architectural coatings.
• Paper and Packaging Treatments: Applied to create grease-resistant and moisture-barrier coatings for food packaging and specialty papers.
• Optical and Electronic Materials: Utilized in the development of low-refractive-index claddings for optical fibers and protective layers for electronic components.
• Additive for Lubricants and Fluids: Acts as a surface-modifying additive to reduce friction and improve the performance of lubricants and functional fluids.

Quality Control

Our Perfluorooctyl Acrylate is manufactured under stringent quality management systems. Each batch undergoes rigorous analytical testing, including assay by GC or HPLC and impurity profiling, to ensure high purity and consistent performance. We provide comprehensive Certificates of Analysis (COA) with each shipment, detailing all relevant specifications. Our quality commitment aligns with industrial chemical standards, and we support customer-specific quality audits and documentation requirements.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated area at room temperature (15-25°C). Keep away from heat, sparks, and open flame. Due to its light-sensitive nature, containers should be kept in opaque packaging or amber glass. For long-term storage, consider under an inert atmosphere to prevent potential polymerization.
