Description

Perfluorooctanoyl Fluoride is a highly fluorinated organic acid fluoride, a key building block in advanced fluorochemical synthesis. This compound is essential for introducing the perfluorooctyl group, which imparts exceptional oil, water, and stain repellency, as well as thermal and chemical stability to materials. It is primarily utilized by manufacturers in the specialty polymers, surface treatment, and pharmaceutical intermediates sectors seeking to develop high-performance fluorinated products.

Application

• Fluoropolymer Production: A critical monomer or intermediate in the synthesis of specialized fluoropolymers and fluorinated elastomers.
• Surface Modifiers & Coatings: Used to manufacture fluorinated surfactants and surface treatment agents for textiles, carpets, and paper to confer water and oil repellency.
• Pharmaceutical & Agrochemical Intermediates: Serves as a key precursor for synthesizing fluorinated active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs) and agrochemicals.
• Specialty Fluoro-Surfactants: Acts as a starting material for producing high-performance fluorosurfactants used in fire-fighting foams and industrial cleaners.
• Lithium-Ion Battery Electrolytes: Employed in research and development of novel fluorinated additives to enhance electrolyte stability and battery performance.
• Chemical Synthesis Reagent: Utilized in organic synthesis as a perfluoroacylating agent to introduce perfluorinated chains into target molecules.

Quality Control

Our Perfluorooctanoyl Fluoride is produced under stringent quality management systems. Every batch undergoes rigorous analytical testing, including GC, NMR, and FTIR, to ensure high purity and consistency. A comprehensive Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing purity, identity, and impurity profiles is provided with each shipment to support your quality assurance and regulatory compliance needs.

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 bases, alcohols, and amines. Due to its hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive) nature, containers must be kept tightly sealed under a dry inert atmosphere (e.g., nitrogen or argon) to prevent hydrolysis. Recommended storage temperature is 2-8°C for long-term stability.
