Description

Perfluorododecyl Iodide is a high-value fluorinated organic compound, specifically a perfluoroalkyl iodide (Rf-I). This specialty chemical serves as a critical building block for synthesizing advanced fluorinated materials due to its reactive iodine terminus. It is essential for industries requiring the introduction of highly hydrophobic, oleophobic, and chemically resistant perfluorododecyl chains into molecules and surfaces. Key sectors that utilize this intermediate include advanced materials science, specialty coatings, and performance chemical manufacturing.

Application

• Key Intermediate for Fluorinated Surfactants & Polymers: Acts as a fundamental starting material for synthesizing perfluoroalkylated surfactants, emulsifiers, and high-performance fluoropolymers.
• Surface Modification Agent: Used to impart extreme water and oil repellency (superhydrophobic and oleophobic properties) to textiles, paper, leather, and composite materials.
• Precursor for Pharmaceutical & Agrochemical Intermediates: Employed in the synthesis of fluorinated bioactive molecules, where the perfluoroalkyl chain can enhance metabolic stability and bioavailability.
• Manufacture of Fluorinated Additives: Incorporated into lubricants, coatings, and plastics to improve surface slip, reduce friction, and enhance chemical resistance.
• Research & Development: A valuable reagent in academic and industrial R&D for exploring new fluorocarbon chemistry and material properties.

Quality Control

Our Perfluorododecyl Iodide is manufactured under stringent process controls to ensure batch-to-batch consistency and high purity. Quality is verified through comprehensive analytical testing, including chromatography (GC/HPLC) and spectroscopic methods (NMR, IR). A Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing purity, identity, and impurity profiles is provided with each shipment to support your quality assurance protocols.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area away from incompatible materials such as strong acids and organic solvents. Recommended storage temperature is 2-8°C to maximize shelf life and stability. Keep container tightly sealed when not in use to prevent moisture ingress or degradation.
