Description

Decanoic Acid 2,2,3,3,4,4,5,5,6,6,7,7-Dodecafluoroheptyl Ester is a highly fluorinated ester derivative of decanoic (capric) acid, offering a unique combination of lipophilicity and extreme hydrophobicity. This compound matters for its exceptional chemical and thermal stability, low surface energy, and resistance to oils, solvents, and water. It is primarily needed by manufacturers in the specialty coatings, surface treatment, and advanced material science sectors seeking to impart high-performance properties.

Application

• Fluorinated Surfactants & Additives: Key intermediate for synthesizing high-performance surfactants and leveling agents for demanding industrial applications.
• Specialty Coatings & Paints: Imparts water, oil, and stain repellency to protective coatings, architectural paints, and anti-graffiti finishes.
• Textile & Leather Treatment: Used to create durable, breathable water-repellent finishes for technical textiles, outdoor apparel, and luxury leather goods.
• Release Agents & Lubricants: Serves as a base for non-stick mold release agents and high-temperature lubricants in plastics and rubber processing.
• Electronic & Optical Materials: Employed in the formulation of hydrophobic protective layers for electronic components and optical devices.
• Fluoropolymer Modification: Acts as a comonomer or additive to modify the surface properties and processing of fluoropolymers.

Quality Control

Our Decanoic Acid 2,2,3,3,4,4,5,5,6,6,7,7-Dodecafluoroheptyl Ester is manufactured under a strict quality management system. Every batch undergoes rigorous analytical testing, including GC/HPLC for purity and identity confirmation, to ensure consistency and compliance with agreed specifications. A comprehensive Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing all test results is provided with each shipment.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area away from incompatible materials such as strong acids and organic solvents. Recommended storage temperature is between 15°C and 25°C. Keep container tightly sealed when not in use to prevent moisture absorption and maintain product integrity.
