Description

Perfluoro(2-Ethyl-1,3-Dioxole) is a high-purity, highly volatile gaseous fluorinated compound. This specialty chemical is a critical precursor in the synthesis of advanced fluoropolymers and perfluorinated materials, valued for its ability to impart exceptional chemical resistance, thermal stability, and low surface energy. It is primarily sought by manufacturers in the semiconductor, electronics, and specialty chemical industries for creating high-performance coatings, etch-resistant films, and novel fluorinated intermediates.

Application

• Fluoropolymer Synthesis: A key monomer for producing amorphous fluoroplastics (e.g., Teflon® AF-type materials) with high optical clarity and gas permeability.
• Semiconductor Manufacturing: Used in plasma-enhanced chemical vapor deposition (PECVD) processes to create low-dielectric constant (low-k) and etch-stop barrier films.
• Protective Coatings: Imparts extreme hydrophobicity, oleophobicity, and chemical inertness to surfaces in demanding industrial and electronic applications.
• Specialty Chemical Intermediate: Serves as a building block for synthesizing complex perfluorinated ethers, surfactants, and other high-value fluorochemicals.
• Optical Fiber Cladding: Contributes to the production of fluorinated polymers for optical fiber cladding with low signal loss.
• Gas Separation Membranes: Used in the development of advanced polymer membranes for selective gas separation due to its high free volume.

Quality Control

Our Perfluoro(2-Ethyl-1,3-Dioxole) is produced under stringent conditions to ensure batch-to-batch consistency and high purity, critical for sensitive applications like semiconductor fabrication. Each lot is analyzed using advanced techniques including Gas Chromatography (GC) and GC-Mass Spectrometry (GC-MS). A comprehensive Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing purity, identity, and impurity profiles is provided with every shipment to support your quality assurance protocols.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed, properly rated pressure cylinder or container in a cool, well-ventilated area, protected from light and heat sources. Due to its highly volatile and gaseous nature, cylinders must be secured upright. Store away from oxidizers, open flames, and incompatible materials. The storage area should comply with local regulations for compressed/hazardous gases.
