Description

3,3,4,4,7,7,8,8-Octafluorodecane is a high-purity, fully saturated fluorinated alkane with the CAS registry number 40723-69-1. This specialty fluorocarbon is valued for its unique combination of chemical inertness, thermal stability, and hydrophobic/oleophobic properties, making it an essential intermediate and performance additive. It is primarily sought after by manufacturers in the electronics, specialty polymer, and advanced materials sectors for applications requiring exceptional stability and low surface energy.

Application

• Electronics Manufacturing: As a key precursor or additive in the formulation of specialty fluorinated solvents, cleaning agents, and heat transfer fluids for sensitive electronic components.
• Advanced Polymer Synthesis: Serves as a critical building block for synthesizing high-performance fluoropolymers and fluoroelastomers with enhanced chemical and thermal resistance.
• Surface Modification & Coatings: Used to impart permanent water, oil, and stain repellency to textiles, membranes, and composite materials.
• Lubricants & Greases: Acts as a high-performance additive in synthetic lubricants and greases for extreme environments, improving stability and reducing friction.
• Pharmaceutical & Agro-Intermediate: Functions as a versatile fluorinated synthon in the research and development of novel active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs) and agrochemicals.
• Specialty Fluids: A component in dielectric fluids, damping fluids, and other functional fluids where non-flammability and inertness are paramount.

Quality Control

Our 3,3,4,4,7,7,8,8-Octafluorodecane is manufactured under a strict quality management system. Every batch undergoes rigorous analytical testing, including GC, NMR, and FTIR, to ensure identity, purity, and consistency meet the highest industry standards. A comprehensive Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing purity, assay, and impurity profiles is provided with each shipment to guarantee full traceability and compliance with your specifications.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area at room temperature (15-25°C). Keep away from strong oxidizing agents, strong acids, and strong bases. The container should be kept tightly sealed to prevent moisture absorption and potential contamination.
