Description

5,5,6,6,7,7,8,8,8-Nonafluorooctan-1-Ol is a high-value fluorinated alcohol characterized by its unique perfluoroalkyl chain, which imparts exceptional chemical stability, hydrophobicity, and oleophobicity. This compound is critical for synthesizing advanced materials where surface energy modification and resistance to harsh environments are paramount. It is primarily sought by R&D and manufacturing sectors in specialty polymers, high-performance coatings, and advanced surfactant formulations.

Application

• Fluorinated Surfactant & Polymer Intermediate: A key building block for synthesizing fluorosurfactants and fluoropolymers with superior oil, water, and chemical repellency.
• Surface Modifier for Coatings: Imparts low surface energy and anti-fouling properties to industrial and protective coatings.
• Pharmaceutical & Agrochemistry Intermediate: Used in the synthesis of bioactive molecules where the introduction of a fluorinated moiety can enhance metabolic stability and bioavailability.
• Textile & Leather Treatment: Provides durable water and stain repellency to fabrics and leather goods.
• Electronic Materials: Employed in the development of dielectric fluids, anti-reflective coatings, and other electronic-grade chemicals.
• Specialty Solvents & Additives: Acts as a co-solvent or additive in formulations requiring specific polarity and stability profiles.

Quality Control

Our 5,5,6,6,7,7,8,8,8-Nonafluorooctan-1-Ol is manufactured under strict quality management systems. Each batch undergoes rigorous analytical testing, including GC, NMR, and Karl Fischer titration, to ensure high purity and consistent performance. Certificates of Analysis (COA) detailing identity, assay, and impurity profiles are available upon request 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 at room temperature (15-25°C). Keep away from strong bases and sources of ignition. Due to its fluoride/strong alkali chemical property, ensure it is stored separately from incompatible materials.
