Description

3,3,4,4,5,5,6,6,7,7,8,8,9,9,10,10,11,11,12,12,13,13,14,14,15,15,16,16,16-Nonacosafluorohexadecane-1-Thiol is a high-value, long-chain perfluorinated thiol, a critical building block for creating advanced fluorinated surfaces and materials. Its primary value lies in its ability to form self-assembled monolayers (SAMs) that impart exceptional hydrophobicity, oleophobicity, chemical resistance, and low surface energy. This compound is essential for R&D and manufacturing in nanotechnology, specialty coatings, and high-performance materials where surface modification is key.

Application

• Surface Modification Agent: Used to create ultra-repellent, low-friction, and anti-adhesive coatings on metals, glass, and polymers.
• Nanotechnology & Self-Assembled Monolayers (SAMs): A key precursor for forming ordered molecular films on gold, silver, and other substrates for sensors and electronic devices.
• Specialty Polymer Synthesis: Serves as a chain-transfer agent or modifier in the production of fluorinated polymers and elastomers with enhanced properties.
• Lubricants and Additives: Incorporated into formulations to improve lubricity, reduce wear, and provide stability in harsh chemical environments.
• Biomedical Coatings: Applied to medical devices and implants to create biocompatible, protein-resistant, and anti-fouling surfaces.
• Microelectronics: Used in the fabrication and protection of microelectromechanical systems (MEMS) and other delicate electronic components.

Quality Control

Our production of 3,3,4,4,5,5,6,6,7,7,8,8,9,9,10,10,11,11,12,12,13,13,14,14,15,15,16,16,16-Nonacosafluorohexadecane-1-Thiol adheres to stringent quality protocols to ensure batch-to-batch consistency and high purity for research and industrial applications. All materials are characterized using advanced analytical techniques including NMR, GC-MS, and HPLC. A comprehensive Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing purity, identity, and impurity profiles is provided with every shipment to support your quality assurance and regulatory needs.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store under an inert atmosphere (e.g., nitrogen or argon) at 2-8°C to minimize oxidation and degradation. This material is easily oxidized; prolonged exposure to air or elevated temperatures should be avoided. Keep away from strong oxidizing agents.
