Description

Ammonium Tricosafluorododecanoate is a high-performance fluorinated surfactant and ammonium salt of a perfluorinated carboxylic acid. This compound is valued for its exceptional ability to dramatically lower surface tension and provide outstanding chemical and thermal stability. It is a critical raw material for industries requiring superior wetting, leveling, and anti-foaming properties in demanding environments. Key sectors include advanced polymer processing, high-performance coatings, and specialized fire-fighting foams.

Application

• As a key surfactant and processing aid in the manufacture of fluoropolymers like PTFE (Polytetrafluoroethylene) and FEP (Fluorinated Ethylene Propylene).
• As an essential component in aqueous film-forming foam (AFFF) concentrates for Class B fire suppression, providing rapid film formation and fuel seal.
• As a leveling and wetting agent in high-performance industrial and specialty coatings to ensure uniform film formation and defect-free surfaces.
• As an additive in electronic chemicals and etching solutions for the semiconductor industry, where precise surface control is required.
• As a surfactant in specialized cleaning formulations for critical cleaning applications in aerospace and electronics manufacturing.
• As a mold release agent and processing aid in advanced composite materials and elastomer production.

Quality Control

Our Ammonium Tricosafluorododecanoate is manufactured under a strict quality management system. Each batch undergoes rigorous analytical testing to ensure it meets precise specifications for purity, ionic content, and performance characteristics. Certificates of Analysis (COA) documenting key parameters such as assay, moisture content, and impurity profiles are provided with every shipment to guarantee traceability and consistency for your critical applications.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area at room temperature (15-25°C). This material is hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive); ensure containers are sealed after use to prevent absorption of atmospheric moisture. Keep away from strong acids and strong oxidizing agents.
