Description

10-Bromo-1,1,1,2,2,3,3,4,4,5,5,6,6-Tridecafluorodecane is a high-purity, specialty fluorinated building block with a terminal bromine atom, offering a unique combination of reactivity and extreme hydrophobicity/oleophobicity. This compound is critical for synthesizing advanced materials where surface energy modification, chemical resistance, and specific molecular architecture are required. It is primarily utilized by R&D chemists and process engineers in the pharmaceutical, agrochemical, and advanced materials sectors for creating novel fluorinated derivatives, surfactants, and polymers.

Application

• Pharmaceutical Intermediate: Serves as a key synthon for introducing long, stable perfluoroalkyl chains into drug candidates to modulate lipophilicity, metabolic stability, and membrane permeability.
• Agrochemical Synthesis: Used in the development of novel fluorinated pesticides and herbicides, where the fluorinated chain enhances weather resistance, bioavailability, and overall efficacy.
• Fluorinated Surfactant & Polymer Production: Acts as a monomer or chain extender for creating high-performance fluorosurfactants, coatings, and elastomers with exceptional oil, water, and chemical repellency.
• Surface Modification Agent: Employed to functionalize surfaces (e.g., textiles, ceramics, polymers) to impart durable stain, water, and oil resistance.
• Lithium-Ion Battery Electrolyte Additive: Investigated for use in formulating advanced electrolytes to improve battery safety and high-voltage stability.
• Material Science Research: A valuable tool in academic and industrial R&D for exploring new fluorocarbon chemistry and creating materials with tailored interfacial properties.

Quality Control

Every batch of 10-Bromo-1,1,1,2,2,3,3,4,4,5,5,6,6-Tridecafluorodecane is manufactured and tested under a strict quality management system. We ensure high purity and lot-to-lot consistency through advanced analytical techniques including GC, NMR, and FTIR. A comprehensive Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing identity, purity, and impurity profiles is provided with each shipment to support your quality and regulatory requirements.

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 heat, sparks, open flames, and strong bases. The container should be kept tightly sealed when not in use to prevent moisture ingress and potential decomposition.
