Description

Sodium n-Ethyl-n-[(Heptadecafluorooctyl)Sulphonyl]Glycinate is a highly fluorinated anionic surfactant, distinguished by its unique perfluorooctyl chain which imparts exceptional surface activity and chemical stability. This compound is engineered to deliver superior performance in demanding environments where conventional surfactants fail, offering outstanding oil and water repellency, thermal resistance, and low surface tension. It is a critical material for manufacturers in the textile, fire-fighting foam, and specialty coatings industries seeking to enhance product functionality and durability.

Application

• Textile Finishing Agent: Imparts durable water, oil, and stain repellency to fabrics, carpets, and technical textiles.
• Fire-Fighting Foam (AFFF) Formulations: Acts as a key fluorosurfactant component to rapidly form aqueous film-forming foams for suppressing flammable liquid fires.
• Specialty Coatings and Paints: Used as a leveling and wetting agent to improve surface coverage, reduce defects, and provide protective properties.
• Paper and Packaging Treatments: Provides grease resistance and moisture barrier properties to paperboard and food packaging materials.
• Industrial Cleaners and Polishes: Enhances the cleaning efficacy and provides anti-soiling characteristics for floor polishes and hard surface cleaners.
• Electroplating and Metal Processing: Functions as a mist suppressant and wetting agent in electroplating baths to improve surface quality and process efficiency.

Storage

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