Description

Octafluoro-1-Pentyl Methacrylate is a highly fluorinated methacrylate monomer, a key building block for imparting exceptional surface properties to polymeric materials. Its value lies in the introduction of a low-surface-energy, hydrophobic, and oleophobic fluorinated side chain, which is critical for creating advanced functional coatings and polymers. This product is essential for R&D and production teams in the specialty chemicals, advanced materials, and high-performance coatings sectors seeking to develop products with superior release, stain resistance, and durability.

Application

• Fluoropolymer Synthesis: A key monomer for producing specialty acrylic polymers and copolymers with enhanced chemical resistance and thermal stability.
• Low Surface Energy Coatings: Used to formulate non-stick, anti-graffiti, and easy-clean coatings for architectural, automotive, and industrial applications.
• Stain & Oil Repellent Finishes: Incorporated into treatments for textiles, leather, paper, and filtration media to provide water and oil repellency.
• Optical Materials: Serves as a component in the synthesis of fluorinated polymers for optical fibers and cladding materials due to low refractive index.
• Release Coatings: Essential for developing non-adhesive coatings used in molds, baking sheets, and adhesive tape backings.
• Modification of Elastomers & Sealants: Enhances the weather resistance, solvent resistance, and surface properties of silicone and other specialty elastomers.

Quality Control

Our Octafluoro-1-Pentyl Methacrylate is manufactured under a strict quality management system. Each batch undergoes rigorous analytical testing, including assay by GC or HPLC, purity verification, and control of critical impurities like inhibitors and moisture, to ensure consistency and performance. Certificates of Analysis (COA) detailing all specifications and test results are provided with every shipment and are available upon request to support your quality assurance protocols.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated place at room temperature (15-25°C/59-77°F). The product is light-sensitive and should be stored away from direct light and heat sources. For long-term storage, consider storing under an inert atmosphere (e.g., nitrogen or argon) to prevent premature polymerization and maintain optimal purity.
