Description

Perfluorononanoic Anhydride is a highly fluorinated organic acid anhydride, a key intermediate in advanced chemical synthesis. This compound is valued for its ability to introduce perfluorinated alkyl chains, imparting exceptional chemical resistance, thermal stability, and hydrophobic/oleophobic properties to target molecules. It is primarily sought by R&D and production teams in the pharmaceutical, agrochemical, and specialty materials sectors for creating high-performance fluorinated derivatives, surfactants, and polymers.

Application

• Fluorinated Surfactant & Polymer Synthesis: A critical building block for manufacturing perfluorinated surfactants and high-performance fluoropolymers with oil and water repellency.
• Pharmaceutical Intermediate: Used in the synthesis of fluorinated active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs) to enhance metabolic stability and bioavailability.
• Agrochemical Production: Serves as a key reagent for creating fluorinated pesticides and herbicides with improved environmental persistence and efficacy.
• Surface Modification Agent: Employed to functionalize material surfaces, providing durable hydrophobic and chemical-resistant coatings.
• Lubricant & Additive Formulation: Used in the development of high-performance fluorinated lubricants and industrial additives.
• Research & Development: An essential reagent in academic and industrial R&D for exploring new fluorinated compounds and materials science.

Quality Control

Our Perfluorononanoic Anhydride is manufactured under strict quality management systems. Each batch undergoes rigorous analytical testing, including assay (by titration or NMR), purity verification (by GC or HPLC), and confirmation of identity (IR, NMR). We provide comprehensive Certificates of Analysis (COA) with each shipment to ensure traceability and compliance with your specifications and relevant industry standards.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated area at a controlled room temperature (15-25°C). This material is hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive) and must be handled under a dry inert atmosphere (e.g., nitrogen or argon) to prevent hydrolysis. Keep away from strong bases and sources of ignition.
