Description

Trichloroheptafluorobutane is a specialized halogenated alkane with a unique combination of chlorine and fluorine atoms. This compound is valued for its chemical stability, low toxicity, and excellent solvent properties, making it a critical component in advanced industrial processes. It is primarily utilized in sectors requiring high-performance cleaning, precision cooling, and specialized chemical synthesis, such as the electronics, aerospace, and pharmaceutical industries.

Application

• Precision Cleaning Agent: Used for degreasing and cleaning sensitive electronic components, optical lenses, and precision mechanical parts due to its high volatility and solvent strength.
• Refrigerant & Heat Transfer Fluid: Serves as a component in specialized low-temperature refrigeration systems and as a heat transfer medium in demanding applications.
• Chemical Intermediate: Acts as a key building block in the synthesis of advanced fluorinated polymers, surfactants, and pharmaceuticals.
• Fire Suppression: Employed in certain specialized fire extinguishing formulations where clean, non-conductive, and non-corrosive agents are required.
• Aerosol Propellant: Used in technical aerosol products where specific solvent and pressure characteristics are needed.
• Carrier Solvent: Functions as a carrier for coatings, lubricants, and release agents in high-value manufacturing processes.

Quality Control

Our Trichloroheptafluorobutane is manufactured under strict quality management systems. Each batch undergoes comprehensive analytical testing, including gas chromatography (GC) for purity and identity verification, to ensure it meets precise customer and industry specifications. Certificates of Analysis (COA) documenting all critical parameters are provided with every shipment to guarantee traceability and batch-to-batch consistency.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, well-ventilated area away from heat sources and incompatible materials such as strong acids, bases, and reactive metals. Due to its high volatility, ensure containers are kept upright and sealed when not in use to prevent loss and maintain purity. Recommended storage temperature is 15-25°C.
