Description

Decafluorocyclopentane CAS NO 376-77-2 is a fully fluorinated, cyclic alkane characterized by its exceptional chemical and thermal stability. This high-performance compound is valued for its unique combination of low toxicity, non-flammability, and highly volatile nature, making it an ideal candidate for specialized industrial applications. It is primarily sought after by manufacturers in the electronics, aerospace, and specialty chemical sectors for use as a precision cleaning agent, heat transfer fluid, and dielectric medium.

Application

• Precision Cleaning & Degreasing: Used as an effective solvent for removing contaminants and fluxes in the electronics and semiconductor manufacturing industries.
• Heat Transfer Fluid: Serves as a stable, non-conductive cooling medium in specialized high-temperature or sensitive electronic systems.
• Dielectric Gas: Employed as an insulating medium in high-voltage equipment and gas-insulated switchgear due to its excellent dielectric properties.
• Aerosol Propellant: Functions as a non-flammable, low-GWP (Global Warming Potential) propellant in technical and specialty aerosol formulations.
• Chemical Synthesis Intermediate: Acts as a building block or fluorinating agent in the synthesis of advanced fluorinated compounds and polymers.
• Fire Suppression: Utilized as a component in clean agent fire extinguishing systems for protecting valuable assets.
• Leak Testing & Tracer Gas: Its inert and detectable nature makes it suitable for leak detection in closed systems.
• Carrier Fluid: Used in deposition and coating processes within thin-film and nanotechnology applications.

Quality Control

Our Decafluorocyclopentane is produced and handled under strict quality management protocols to ensure batch-to-batch consistency and high purity. We employ advanced analytical techniques including Gas Chromatography (GC) and FTIR spectroscopy for rigorous identity and purity verification. A comprehensive Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing purity, impurity profile, and physical properties 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, well-ventilated area away from heat sources and incompatible materials. Due to its highly volatile nature, ensure containers are kept upright and sealed when not in use to prevent loss and maintain purity. Recommended storage temperature is between 15°C and 25°C (59°F and 77°F).
