Description

1-Iodo-1H,1H,2H,2H-Perfluoro(4,7,10,13,16-Pentamethyl-5,8,11,14,17-Pentaoxaeicosane) is a specialized perfluoropolyether (PFPE) derivative featuring a terminal iodine atom, designed for advanced surface modification and functionalization. This compound matters for its unique combination of extreme hydrophobicity, oleophobicity, and chemical inertness imparted by the perfluorinated chain, coupled with the reactivity of the iodo group for further chemical synthesis. It is essential for R&D chemists and process engineers in the electronics, specialty coatings, and advanced materials sectors who require precise control over surface energy and the creation of low-friction, durable interfaces.

Application

• Surface Modifier for Electronics: Used to create ultra-thin, hydrophobic, and insulating coatings on semiconductor wafers, MEMS devices, and display components to prevent moisture ingress and stiction.
• Lubricant & Release Agent Precursor: Serves as a key intermediate in synthesizing high-performance PFPE-based lubricants and mold release agents for demanding industrial and aerospace applications.
• Functional Monomer for Fluoropolymers: The reactive iodine end-group allows for incorporation into block or graft copolymers, enhancing the surface properties of specialty plastics and elastomers.
• Intermediate for Biomedical Coatings: Employed in research to develop biocompatible, fouling-resistant coatings for medical devices and implants.
• Water & Stain Repellent Formulations: A critical component in developing next-generation durable water repellent (DWR) finishes for textiles and protective gear.
• Research Chemical for Material Science: Utilized in academic and industrial labs to study self-assembled monolayers (SAMs) and surface energy phenomena.
