Description

Silver Perfluorooctanoate is the silver salt of perfluorooctanoic acid (PFOA), a high-performance fluorinated compound. This material is valued for its role as a key intermediate and catalyst in specialized fluoropolymer synthesis and surface modification processes. It is primarily utilized by manufacturers in the advanced materials, electronics, and specialty chemical sectors seeking to impart unique hydrophobic and oleophobic properties.

Application

• As a catalyst or initiator in the production of fluoropolymers and fluoroelastomers.
• As a key intermediate for synthesizing other perfluorinated compounds and surfactants.
• In surface treatment applications to create ultra-hydrophobic and stain-resistant coatings.
• In specialized electronic materials and component manufacturing.
• For research and development in advanced material science and nanotechnology.
• In the formulation of high-performance lubricants and release agents.

Quality Control

Our Silver Perfluorooctanoate is produced and handled under strict quality management protocols to ensure batch-to-batch consistency and high purity. The product undergoes rigorous analytical testing, including assay and impurity profiling. A Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing specific results for each lot is available upon request.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated area. Due to its hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive) nature, the container must be kept tightly sealed after opening to prevent degradation. Recommended storage temperature is 2-8°C for long-term stability.
