Description

2,2,3,4,4,4-Hexafluorobutyl Methacrylate is a specialized fluorinated methacrylate monomer, a key building block for synthesizing advanced polymers with unique surface properties. Its value lies in introducing fluorine into polymer chains, imparting exceptional oil and water repellency, chemical resistance, and low surface energy. This makes it a critical raw material for industries requiring high-performance coatings, optical materials, and specialty additives where durability and specific surface interactions are paramount.

Application

• High-Performance Coatings: Used to formulate fluorinated acrylic resins for anti-graffiti, anti-fouling, and easy-clean coatings on architectural facades, automotive parts, and industrial equipment.
• Optical Materials: A key monomer for producing low-refractive-index polymers used in optical fibers, lenses, and cladding materials for telecommunications and electronics.
• Surface Modifiers & Additives: Incorporated as a co-monomer to create surface-active polymers that provide oil, water, and stain repellency to textiles, leather, and paper.
• Specialty Adhesives & Sealants: Enhances the chemical resistance and weatherability of adhesives and sealants used in harsh environments.
• Lithography & Photoresists: Serves as a component in advanced photoresist polymers for semiconductor manufacturing due to its etch resistance.
• Hydrophobic & Oleophobic Films: Used in the production of thin films for membranes, sensors, and protective layers requiring specific surface energy characteristics.

Quality Control

Our 2,2,3,4,4,4-Hexafluorobutyl Methacrylate is manufactured under stringent quality management systems. Each batch undergoes rigorous analytical testing, including gas chromatography (GC) for purity and identity confirmation, to ensure it meets exacting industry standards. A comprehensive Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing assay, purity, and impurity profiles is 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 place at room temperature (15-25°C/59-77°F). Keep away from heat, sparks, and open flame. Due to its reactivity with strong acids and organic solvents, store separately from incompatible materials. The monomer contains a stabilizer to prevent polymerization; do not remove.
