Description

4-Chloroperfluoro-(1,2-Epoxy)Butane is a specialized fluorinated epoxide building block of significant industrial interest. Its unique structure, combining a reactive oxirane ring with perfluorinated and chlorine substituents, makes it a valuable precursor for synthesizing advanced fluorinated materials. This compound is primarily sought by R&D chemists and process engineers in the pharmaceutical, agrochemical, and specialty polymer sectors. It enables the introduction of fluorinated segments to enhance the thermal stability, chemical resistance, and surface properties of target molecules.

Application

• Pharmaceutical Intermediate: Used in the synthesis of fluorinated active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs) to modify metabolic stability and bioavailability.
• Agrochemical Synthesis: Serves as a key building block for creating novel fluorinated pesticides and herbicides with enhanced efficacy and environmental persistence.
• Fluoropolymer Modification: Employed as a monomer or cross-linking agent to introduce specific functional groups into fluorinated elastomers and plastics, improving their performance.
• Surface Treatment Agent: Utilized to create low surface energy, oil- and water-repellent coatings for textiles, electronics, and membranes.
• Liquid Crystal & OLED Materials: Acts as a fluorinated synthon in the production of advanced electronic display materials.
• Specialty Solvents & Fluids: Potential use in the formulation of high-performance heat transfer fluids or inert reaction media.

Quality Control

Our 4-Chloroperfluoro-(1,2-Epoxy)Butane is manufactured under strict quality management systems. Each batch undergoes rigorous analytical testing, including GC, NMR, and FTIR, to ensure identity, purity, and consistency. We provide comprehensive Certificates of Analysis (COA) with every shipment, detailing all critical specifications. Our quality commitment ensures the material meets the stringent requirements for advanced synthetic applications.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, well-ventilated area away from heat sources and incompatible materials. Due to its highly volatile nature, ensure containers are kept tightly sealed and upright to prevent leakage and concentration of vapors. Recommended storage temperature is 2-8°C for long-term stability.
