Description

(3,3,4,4,5,5,6,6,7,7,8,8,9,9,10,10,10-Heptadecafluorodecyl)Bis(2-Hydroxyethyl)Methylammonium Iodide is a highly fluorinated quaternary ammonium salt, a key specialty chemical for imparting unique surface properties. Its value lies in its ability to deliver exceptional hydrophobicity, oleophobicity, and chemical resistance due to the long perfluorinated chain. This compound is essential for researchers and manufacturers in advanced material science, particularly those developing high-performance coatings, surfactants, and surface modifiers.

Application

• Fluorinated Surfactant & Additive: Used as a key ingredient in formulations requiring extreme water and oil repellency, low surface tension, and enhanced spreading.
• Textile & Fiber Treatment: Imparts durable stain-resistant and soil-release properties to technical fabrics, carpets, and outdoor apparel.
• Specialty Coatings: Serves as a critical additive in paints, varnishes, and polymer coatings to create hydrophobic, anti-graffiti, and easy-to-clean surfaces.
• Paper & Packaging: Applied to create grease-resistant and moisture-barrier coatings for food packaging and specialty papers.
• Electronics & Semiconductor: Used in formulations for anti-fingerprint coatings on displays and as a surface modifier in photoresists.
• Biomedical Research: Investigated for creating non-fouling surfaces, modifying biomaterials, and in drug delivery systems due to its unique interfacial properties.
• Fire-Fighting Foams (Legacy/Research): Historically studied in certain fluorosurfactant blends for aqueous film-forming foams (AFFF), with current focus on research for alternative structures.
• Catalyst & Phase-Transfer Agent: Acts as a phase-transfer catalyst in organic synthesis, particularly in reactions involving fluorinated intermediates.

Quality Control

Our production of (3,3,4,4,5,5,6,6,7,7,8,8,9,9,10,10,10-Heptadecafluorodecyl)Bis(2-Hydroxyethyl)Methylammonium Iodide adheres to a strict quality management system. Every batch undergoes comprehensive analytical testing, including NMR, HPLC, and elemental analysis, to ensure identity, purity, and consistency. Certificates of Analysis (COA) detailing all test results are provided and can be tailored to meet specific customer or regulatory requirements.

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). Due to its hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive) nature, the container must be kept tightly sealed after opening to prevent degradation from atmospheric moisture. Keep away from incompatible materials.
