Description

Perfluorobutoxyethoxyacetyl Fluoride 98 is a high-purity fluorinated building block essential for advanced material synthesis. This compound matters for its role in introducing perfluoroalkoxyether functionalities, which impart exceptional chemical resistance, thermal stability, and low surface energy to final products. It is critically needed by R&D and production teams in the pharmaceutical, agrochemical, and specialty polymer industries for creating novel fluorinated intermediates and surface-active agents.

Application

• Pharmaceutical Intermediate: Serves as a key precursor in the synthesis of novel active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs) and diagnostic agents requiring fluorinated motifs for enhanced metabolic stability and bioavailability.
• Agrochemical Synthesis: Used to create advanced fluorinated pesticides and herbicides, where the perfluoroether chain can improve weather resistance and biological activity.
• Fluorinated Surfactant & Polymer Production: Acts as a monomer or modifier for manufacturing high-performance fluorosurfactants, coatings, and elastomers with superior oil, water, and chemical repellency.
• Electronic Chemicals: Employed in the development of specialty fluids for electronics cooling and as a precursor for dielectric materials in semiconductor manufacturing.
• Material Science R&D: A versatile reagent for academic and industrial research focused on creating new materials with tailored surface properties and extreme environment durability.

Quality Control

Our Perfluorobutoxyethoxyacetyl Fluoride 98 is manufactured under strict quality management systems. Every batch undergoes rigorous analytical testing, including GC, NMR, and FTIR, to ensure the ≥98% purity specification and identity are met. Comprehensive Certificates of Analysis (COA) detailing purity, moisture content, and impurity profiles are available upon request to support your quality assurance and regulatory needs.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated place at room temperature (15-25°C). Due to its hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive) nature and reactivity as an acid fluoride, the container must be kept sealed under a dry inert atmosphere (e.g., nitrogen or argon) and separated from strong bases, alcohols, and water.
