Description

Perfluoro-2-Butanone is a highly fluorinated ketone compound, also known as perfluorobutyl methyl ketone. This specialty fluorochemical is valued for its unique combination of high volatility, chemical inertness, and excellent solvent properties for fluorinated materials. It serves as a critical intermediate and performance solvent in advanced manufacturing sectors, including electronics, specialty polymers, and precision cleaning applications where traditional solvents are unsuitable.

Application

• Electronics Manufacturing: Used as a precision cleaning agent and solvent in the production of semiconductors, printed circuit boards (PCBs), and other sensitive electronic components.
• Fluoropolymer Processing: Acts as a solvent and reaction medium in the synthesis and processing of high-performance fluoropolymers like PTFE (Teflon™) and PFA.
• Specialty Coatings: Employed as a carrier solvent in formulating high-performance, chemically resistant coatings and surface treatments.
• Chemical Synthesis: Serves as a key fluorinated building block (synthon) and intermediate in organic synthesis for pharmaceuticals and agrochemicals.
• Analytical Chemistry: Utilized as a specialty solvent in chromatography and spectroscopy for analyzing non-polar compounds.
• Heat Transfer Fluids: Investigated for use in specialized cooling systems due to the thermal properties of perfluorinated compounds.

Quality Control

Our Perfluoro-2-Butanone is manufactured under stringent quality management systems. Each batch is subjected to rigorous analytical testing, including Gas Chromatography (GC) and Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR) spectroscopy, to ensure high purity and consistent performance. We provide comprehensive Certificates of Analysis (COA) with every shipment, detailing assay, identity, and impurity profiles. Our quality commitment ensures the material meets the exacting standards required for electronics and pharmaceutical intermediate applications.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, well-ventilated area away from heat sources and incompatible materials. Due to its highly volatile nature, ensure containers are kept tightly sealed when not in use to prevent evaporation and maintain purity. Recommended storage temperature is 2-25°C.
