Description

Nonanoicacid,Hexadecafluoro-,Ammoniumsalt CAS NO 4149-60-4 is the ammonium salt of perfluorononanoic acid, a highly fluorinated organic compound. This specialty chemical is valued for its unique combination of surface activity, chemical resistance, and thermal stability imparted by the perfluorinated carbon chain. It is primarily utilized in advanced material science and high-performance industrial applications where standard hydrocarbon-based surfactants are insufficient.

Application

• As a fluorosurfactant and leveling agent in high-performance fluoropolymer coatings and films.
• In the formulation of fire-fighting foams (AFFF) for hydrocarbon fuel fires, where rapid film formation is critical.
• As a processing aid and mold release agent in the manufacture of plastics and elastomers.
• In the production of oil- and water-repellent treatments for textiles, leather, and paper.
• As a wetting and dispersing agent in specialty inks, electronics coatings, and photographic films.
• For research and development in fluorinated material synthesis and surface modification studies.
