Description

3-(Perfluorobutyl)-2-Hydroxypropyl Methacrylate is a specialized fluorinated methacrylate monomer, a key building block for imparting unique surface properties to polymers. Its value lies in the introduction of a perfluorobutyl segment, which provides exceptional oil and water repellency, low surface energy, and chemical resistance. This compound is essential for formulators and polymer chemists in the coatings, advanced materials, and specialty chemical industries seeking to develop high-performance, functional surfaces.

Application

• Surface Modifiers & Additives: Used to synthesize polymeric additives that dramatically lower the surface energy of coatings, inks, and films.
• Oil & Water Repellent Finishes: A critical monomer for creating durable, breathable, and stain-resistant finishes for textiles, leather, and paper.
• Low-Friction Coatings: Incorporated into formulations for release coatings, anti-graffiti paints, and non-stick surfaces where easy-clean properties are required.
• Fluorinated Acrylic Polymers: Serves as a co-monomer to produce specialty acrylic resins with enhanced chemical and solvent resistance for industrial and automotive coatings.
• Optical Materials: Used in the synthesis of fluorinated polymers for optical fibers and cladding materials, benefiting from low moisture absorption and refractive index control.
• Adhesive & Sealant Modifiers: Imparts hydrophobicity and improved environmental durability to adhesives and sealants.
