Description

Sodium Perfluorovalerate is a high-purity, fully fluorinated carboxylic acid salt with unique chemical and physical properties derived from its perfluorinated carbon chain. This compound is valued for its exceptional stability, surface activity, and chemical inertness, making it a critical intermediate and functional additive in advanced manufacturing. It is primarily utilized by industries focused on specialty polymers, surfactants, and high-performance materials where thermal and chemical resistance are paramount.

Application

• Fluorinated Surfactant & Polymer Intermediate: A key building block for synthesizing specialized fluorosurfactants and fluoropolymers, imparting oil, water, and stain repellency.
• Fire-Fighting Foam (AFFF) Formulations: Used in the production of aqueous film-forming foams for combating flammable liquid fires, contributing to rapid film formation and stability.
• Surface Treatment & Coatings: Enhances the surface properties of textiles, leather, and paper, providing durable water and oil repellency (DWR/DOR).
• Electronics & Semiconductor Industry: Serves as an etching agent or surface modifier in the manufacturing of electronic components and semiconductors.
• Pharmaceutical & Agrochemical Synthesis: Acts as a versatile intermediate for introducing perfluorinated moieties into bioactive molecules, altering their metabolic stability and lipophilicity.
• Specialty Material Additive: Incorporated into lubricants, greases, and high-temperature fluids to improve performance under extreme conditions.

Quality Control

Our Sodium Perfluorovalerate is manufactured under strict quality management systems. Each batch undergoes rigorous analytical testing, including assay by titration, identification by FT-IR, and quantification of key impurities by HPLC, to ensure it meets precise customer specifications and industry standards. A comprehensive Certificate of Analysis (COA) is provided with every shipment, detailing purity, physical characteristics, and test results.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area at room temperature (15-25°C). This material is hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive). Keep the container tightly sealed to prevent absorption of atmospheric moisture, which can affect product quality and handling properties.
