Description

Perfluorooctanoyl Bromide is a high-purity, specialized fluorinated organic compound used as a key building block in advanced chemical synthesis. This reagent is critical for introducing the highly stable and hydrophobic perfluorooctanoyl group into target molecules, significantly altering their surface properties. It is essential for R&D and production in industries such as pharmaceuticals, agrochemicals, and advanced materials science, where precise fluorination is required.

Application

• Pharmaceutical Intermediate: Synthesis of fluorinated active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs) and diagnostic agents, leveraging the metabolic stability and lipophilicity of the perfluoroalkyl chain.
• Agrochemical Synthesis: Production of novel fluorinated pesticides and herbicides with enhanced environmental persistence and efficacy.
• Surface Modification Agent: Key precursor for creating superhydrophobic and oleophobic coatings for textiles, electronics, and medical devices.
• Polymer Science: Monomer for synthesizing fluoropolymers with exceptional chemical resistance, low surface energy, and thermal stability.
• Liquid Crystal & OLED Materials: Building block for fluorinated components in electronic display and lighting technologies.
• Specialty Surfactants: Manufacture of high-performance fluorosurfactants for demanding industrial applications like fire-fighting foams and coatings.

Quality Control

Our Perfluorooctanoyl Bromide is manufactured under strict quality management systems. Every batch undergoes comprehensive analytical testing, including NMR, GC, and HPLC, to ensure high chemical purity and consistency. A detailed Certificate of Analysis (COA) is provided with each shipment, confirming compliance with agreed specifications. We support custom synthesis and can tailor purity grades to meet specific project requirements, from research to commercial scale.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated place at room temperature (15-25°C). This material is hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive) and should be handled under an inert atmosphere (e.g., nitrogen or argon) to prevent decomposition. Keep away from strong bases and oxidizing agents.
