Description

Ammonium n-Ethyl-n-[(Heptadecafluorooctyl)Sulphonyl]Glycinate is a high-performance fluorinated surfactant and surface modifier. This compound is valued for its exceptional ability to dramatically lower surface tension and impart oil, water, and stain repellency to a wide range of materials. It is a critical raw material for manufacturers in the textile, coatings, and specialty chemical industries seeking to develop advanced functional products.

Application

• Textile Finishing Agent: Imparts durable water repellency (DWR), oil repellency, and stain resistance to fabrics, outdoor gear, and upholstery.
• Firefighting Foam Concentrates (AFFF/AR-AFFF): Used as a key fluorosurfactant component to form aqueous film-forming foams for rapid fuel fire suppression.
• Coatings and Paints: Enhances leveling, wetting, and anti-cratering properties while adding hydrophobic and oleophobic characteristics to the final film.
• Paper and Packaging Coatings: Provides grease resistance and moisture barrier properties for food packaging and specialty papers.
• Leather and Synthetic Material Treatment: Used to create protective, easy-to-clean surfaces on leather goods and synthetic materials.
• Industrial Cleaners and Polishes: Acts as a surfactant and leveling agent in formulations designed for hard surfaces, glass, and metals.
• Polymer Additive: Incorporated into polymers and plastics to modify surface properties and improve processing.

Quality Control

Our Ammonium n-Ethyl-n-[(Heptadecafluorooctyl)Sulphonyl]Glycinate is manufactured under a strict quality management system. Every batch undergoes comprehensive analytical testing, including assay by HPLC, residual solvent analysis, and confirmation of critical functional properties like surface tension. A Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing all specifications and test results is provided with each shipment to ensure traceability and compliance with your technical 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 strong acids, strong bases, and strong oxidizing agents. The product is hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive); ensure containers are sealed after use to prevent moisture uptake.
