Description

3,3,4,4,5,5,6,6,6-Nonafluoro-1-Hexanethiol is a specialized fluorinated thiol compound, characterized by its unique perfluorinated alkyl chain terminated with a reactive thiol (-SH) group. This structure is critical for imparting exceptional surface-active properties, including high hydrophobicity, oleophobicity, and chemical resistance. It serves as a key building block in advanced material science, particularly for the synthesis of self-assembled monolayers (SAMs), surface modifiers, and fluorinated polymers. Industries such as electronics, specialty coatings, and nanotechnology rely on this high-purity intermediate to develop next-generation materials with tailored surface characteristics.

Application

• Surface Modification Agent: Used to create hydrophobic and oleophobic self-assembled monolayers (SAMs) on gold, silver, and other metal surfaces for anti-fouling, anti-corrosion, and low-friction coatings.
• Polymer & Resin Additive: Acts as a chain transfer agent or functional monomer in the synthesis of fluorinated polymers, enhancing chemical resistance, water repellency, and surface energy properties.
• Electronics & Semiconductor Industry: Employed in the surface treatment of components and as a precursor for creating insulating or protective layers in micro- and nano-fabrication processes.
• Specialty Coatings & Inks: Imparts durable water, oil, and stain resistance to high-performance coatings, textiles, and inks.
• Nanotechnology & Material Science: Serves as a critical ligand for functionalizing nanoparticles (e.g., gold nanoparticles) to control dispersion, stability, and surface reactivity.
• Adhesive & Sealant Formulation: Incorporated to improve the chemical stability and environmental resistance of high-performance adhesives and sealants.
• Chemical Intermediate: Utilized in organic synthesis for introducing the perfluorohexylthio moiety into more complex molecules for pharmaceutical or agrochemical research.

Quality Control

Our production of 3,3,4,4,5,5,6,6,6-Nonafluoro-1-Hexanethiol adheres to stringent quality management protocols. Each batch undergoes rigorous analytical testing, including Gas Chromatography (GC), Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR), and titration methods, to ensure high purity and consistent performance. We provide comprehensive Certificates of Analysis (COA) with each shipment, detailing key parameters such as assay, identity, and impurity profiles. Our quality system is designed to meet the exacting standards of research and industrial applications, ensuring reliable supply and product traceability.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, well-ventilated area at temperatures between 2°C and 8°C (refrigerated) to minimize volatility and degradation. Due to its highly volatile and light-sensitive nature, containers should be kept sealed under an inert atmosphere (e.g., nitrogen) when not in use to prevent oxidation and moisture ingress. Keep away from heat, sparks, and open flame.
