Description

Methyl Perfluorononanoate is a high-purity fluorinated ester compound, valued for its exceptional chemical and thermal stability derived from its perfluorinated carbon chain. This makes it a critical intermediate and functional additive in advanced material synthesis and high-performance surface treatments. It is primarily sought by manufacturers in the specialty chemical, polymer, and electronics industries for applications demanding superior hydrophobic, oleophobic, and release properties.

Application

• Fluorinated Surfactant & Polymer Intermediate: A key building block for synthesizing high-performance fluorosurfactants and fluoropolymers.
• Water & Oil Repellent Coatings: Used to impart durable hydrophobic and oleophobic characteristics to textiles, paper, and leather.
• Release Agent Precursor: Serves as a starting material for manufacturing non-stick and mold-release coatings.
• Specialty Additive: Functions as a surface tension modifier and leveling agent in high-end coatings, inks, and electronic chemicals.
• Chemical Synthesis: Acts as a versatile fluorinated synthon in organic and pharmaceutical chemistry for introducing perfluorononyl groups.
• Fire-Fighting Foam Formulations: Historically used as a component in aqueous film-forming foam (AFFF) concentrates.

Quality Control

Our Methyl Perfluorononanoate is manufactured under stringent quality management systems. Each batch undergoes rigorous analytical testing, including Gas Chromatography (GC) and Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR), to ensure high purity and consistent performance. A comprehensive Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing identity, assay, and impurity profiles is provided with every shipment to guarantee compliance with your technical requirements.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area away from incompatible materials such as strong acids, bases, and oxidizing agents. Recommended storage temperature is between 2°C and 25°C. The container must be kept tightly sealed to prevent moisture absorption and volatilization.
