Description

3-[(3,3,4,4,5,5,6,6,7,7,8,8,8-Tridecafluorooctyl)Oxy]-1,2-Propanediol is a specialized fluorinated diol surfactant, offering a unique combination of hydrophobicity, oleophobicity, and chemical resistance due to its long perfluoroalkyl chain. This compound is engineered to impart exceptional surface-modifying properties, lowering surface energy and enhancing performance in demanding environments. It is a critical intermediate for manufacturers in the advanced materials, coatings, and specialty chemical sectors seeking to develop high-performance, durable products.

Application

• Fluorinated Surfactant & Additive: Key ingredient in high-performance coatings, paints, and inks to improve leveling, wetting, and anti-cratering properties.
• Polymer Modification: Used as a monomer or chain extender to synthesize fluorinated polyurethanes, polyesters, and epoxy resins, enhancing their chemical, thermal, and weathering resistance.
• Textile & Leather Treatment: Imparts durable water, oil, and stain repellency to fabrics, carpets, and leather goods.
• Paper & Packaging Coatings: Provides grease resistance and barrier properties for food packaging and specialty papers.
• Fire-Fighting Foams (Legacy/Formulation R&D): Historically used as a raw material in certain fluorosurfactant formulations for aqueous film-forming foams (AFFF).
• Electronic Materials: Employed in the formulation of anti-fingerprint coatings for displays and protective layers for electronic components.
• Adhesives & Sealants: Enhances the moisture resistance and durability of high-performance adhesive formulations.
