Description

Perfluorononanoyl Chloride is a highly fluorinated acid chloride derivative, serving as a critical building block for introducing perfluorinated alkyl chains into target molecules. Its primary value lies in its ability to impart exceptional chemical inertness, thermal stability, and hydrophobic/oleophobic properties to advanced materials. This compound is essential for researchers and manufacturers in the pharmaceutical, agrochemical, and specialty polymer industries, where surface modification and functional material development are key.

Application

• Pharmaceutical Intermediate: Used in the synthesis of active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs) requiring perfluorinated moieties for enhanced metabolic stability or bioavailability.
• Agrochemical Synthesis: Serves as a key reagent for creating advanced herbicides and pesticides with improved environmental persistence and rainfastness.
• Surface Modifying Agent: Employed to create low surface energy coatings for textiles, electronics, and medical devices, providing water, oil, and stain repellency.
• Fluorinated Polymer Production: Acts as a monomer or chain-transfer agent in the synthesis of specialty fluoropolymers and fluoroelastomers.
• Liquid Crystal & OLED Materials: Used in the development of fluorinated components for electronic display technologies.
• Catalyst & Ligand Synthesis: Facilitates the creation of fluorinated ligands for catalysis in demanding chemical environments.

Quality Control

Our Perfluorononanoyl Chloride is produced under stringent quality management systems. Every batch undergoes rigorous analytical testing, including GC, NMR, and titration methods, to ensure high purity and consistency. A comprehensive Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing purity, identity, and impurity profiles is provided with each shipment to support your quality assurance and regulatory compliance needs.

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 bases, alcohols, and amines. Due to its reactivity as an acid chloride and sensitivity to moisture, it is recommended to handle and store under an inert atmosphere (e.g., nitrogen or argon) for long-term stability. Recommended storage temperature: 2-8°C.
