Description

2-(Perfluoro-5-Methylhexyl)Ethyl Acrylate is a high-performance fluorinated acrylate monomer essential for imparting exceptional surface properties to polymers. This compound matters because its perfluorinated side chain provides outstanding oil and water repellency, chemical resistance, and low surface energy. Industrial R&D chemists and formulators in the coatings, textiles, and specialty materials sectors need it to develop advanced, durable surface treatments and functional polymers.

Application

• Fluorinated Polymer Synthesis: A key monomer for producing side-chain fluorinated polymers and copolymers with tailored surface characteristics.
• Oil & Water Repellent Coatings: Used in formulating high-performance coatings for textiles, leather, paper, and non-woven fabrics to achieve stain resistance.
• Low Surface Energy Additives: Incorporated into paints, varnishes, and release coatings to enhance anti-graffiti, anti-fouling, and easy-clean properties.
• Specialty Surfactants & Leveling Agents: Serves as a building block for fluorosurfactants used in demanding industrial and electronic applications.
• Optical Fiber Cladding Materials: Utilized in the production of specialty fluorinated resins for optical communications due to low refractive index.
• Mold Release Agents: A component in formulations for high-temperature and chemically resistant mold release systems.

Quality Control

Our 2-(Perfluoro-5-Methylhexyl)Ethyl Acrylate is manufactured under a strict quality management system. Every batch undergoes rigorous analytical testing, including GC, HPLC, and NMR, to ensure high purity and consistent performance. Certificates of Analysis (COA) detailing purity, identity, and impurity profiles 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 temperatures between 15-25°C (59-77°F). Keep away from heat, open flames, and incompatible materials such as strong acids, bases, and oxidizing agents. For long-term storage, consider under an inert atmosphere to prevent polymerization and maintain monomer integrity.
