Description

Octacosafluoro-14-Iodo-2-(Trifluoromethyl)Tetradecane is a highly fluorinated, iodinated alkane, a specialized perfluoroalkyl iodide (PFAI) building block of significant industrial importance. Its unique molecular structure, featuring a long perfluorinated chain terminated by a reactive iodine atom, makes it a critical intermediate for synthesizing advanced fluorinated surfactants, polymers, and surface modifiers. This compound is essential for R&D and manufacturing in sectors demanding exceptional chemical inertness, thermal stability, and low surface energy, such as high-performance materials, electronics, and specialty coatings.

Application

• Fluorinated Surfactant & Polymer Synthesis: A key telomerization precursor for manufacturing perfluoropolyethers (PFPEs) and fluorinated acrylate polymers.
• Surface Modification Agent: Used to impart oil, water, and stain repellency to textiles, paper, and leather.
• Electronics Industry: Serves as a raw material for fluorinated dielectric fluids and heat transfer fluids used in high-performance electronics cooling.
• Specialty Coatings & Additives: Incorporated into formulations to create non-stick, low-friction, and chemically resistant coatings.
• Pharmaceutical & Agrochemical Intermediates: Used in the synthesis of fluorinated active ingredients that require enhanced metabolic stability and bioavailability.
• Firefighting Foam Concentrates (Legacy/Specialized): Historically used as a feedstock for producing fluorosurfactants in certain firefighting foams (subject to regional regulations).
• Research & Development: A valuable tool in academic and industrial labs for exploring novel fluorocarbon chemistry and material science.
