Description

6-(Perfluorooctyl)Hexanol is a high-value fluorinated intermediate characterized by a unique combination of a perfluorinated alkyl chain and a terminal hydroxyl group. This structure is critical for imparting exceptional oil, water, and stain repellency, as well as low surface energy, to final formulations. It is primarily utilized by manufacturers in the specialty chemicals, advanced materials, and surface treatment sectors seeking to develop high-performance, durable coatings and functional additives.

Application

• Key intermediate in the synthesis of fluorinated surfactants and leveling agents for coatings and inks.
• Building block for creating fluorinated acrylate and methacrylate monomers used in high-performance polymer coatings.
• Raw material for manufacturing textile and leather finishes that provide durable water and oil repellency (DWR/DOR).
• Surface modifier for imparting hydrophobic and oleophobic properties to papers, filters, and membranes.
• Intermediate for producing fluorinated additives that enhance the release properties of molds and industrial surfaces.
• Starting material in the development of specialty fluoropolymers with tailored surface characteristics.

Quality Control

Our 6-(Perfluorooctyl)Hexanol is produced under strict quality management protocols. Each batch undergoes comprehensive analytical testing, including assay, purity verification, and impurity profiling, to ensure it meets the stringent requirements of advanced material synthesis. A Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing specific results for purity, identity, and key physical properties is provided with every shipment to guarantee batch-to-batch consistency and supply reliability.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area at room temperature (15-25°C). Keep away from strong bases and sources of ignition. Due to its fluoride/strong alkali sensitivity, ensure it is not stored in contact with alkaline materials.
