Description

1H,1H-Perfluoro-1-Hexadecanol CAS NO 216144-94-4 is a high-purity, long-chain perfluorinated alcohol characterized by its exceptional chemical and thermal stability. This compound is a critical building block for synthesizing advanced fluorinated surfactants, polymers, and surface modifiers. It is essential for industries requiring materials with superior oil and water repellency, low surface energy, and high-performance characteristics under extreme conditions.

Application

• Fluorinated Surfactant & Polymer Synthesis: A key intermediate for manufacturing high-performance fluorosurfactants, fluorinated acrylates, and methacrylates used in coatings and textiles.
• Surface Modification & Treatment: Imparts outstanding oil, water, and stain repellency to textiles, leather, paper, and non-woven fabrics.
• Specialty Coatings & Additives: Used in formulating high-durability, low-friction, and anti-graffiti coatings for industrial and architectural applications.
• Fire-Fighting Foams (Legacy/Formulation R&D): Historically used as a raw material in the synthesis of fluorosurfactants for aqueous film-forming foams (AFFF); relevant for research into alternative formulations.
• Electronics & Semiconductor Industry: Employed in the production of fluorinated chemicals for etching, cleaning, and as hydrophobic coatings for electronic components.
• Advanced Material Research: Serves as a precursor for creating novel self-assembled monolayers (SAMs) and superhydrophobic surfaces in nanotechnology.
