Description

Poly(Oxy-1,2-Ethanediyl), .Alpha.-(Tridecafluorohexyl)-.Omega.-Hydroxy- is a specialized fluorinated polyether glycol, a high-performance surfactant and surface modifier. Its unique structure, featuring a hydrophilic polyoxyethylene chain and a hydrophobic fluorocarbon tail, provides exceptional surface tension reduction and oil/water repellency. This compound is essential for formulators and manufacturers in industries requiring advanced surface properties, chemical resistance, and thermal stability.

Application

• As a key surfactant and emulsifier in high-performance fluorinated coatings and paints.
• As a surface modifier and leveling agent for textiles and leather to impart water and oil repellency.
• As an additive in fire-fighting foams (AFFF) to enhance film-forming properties and fuel resistance.
• As a processing aid and release agent in the manufacture of fluoropolymers like PTFE.
• In the formulation of specialty cleaning products and polishes for demanding industrial applications.
• As a potential intermediate in the synthesis of more complex fluorinated surfactants and polymers.
• In electronic and semiconductor manufacturing as a wetting agent for specialty fluids.

Quality Control

Our production of Poly(Oxy-1,2-Ethanediyl), .Alpha.-(Tridecafluorohexyl)-.Omega.-Hydroxy- adheres to stringent quality management protocols. Every batch undergoes rigorous analytical testing to ensure consistency in critical parameters such as fluorine content, hydroxyl value, ethylene oxide chain length distribution, and purity. Certificates of Analysis (COA) detailing these specifications are available upon request to support your quality assurance and regulatory compliance needs.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated area at room temperature (15-25°C/59-77°F). Due to its hygroscopic nature, the container must be kept tightly sealed to prevent moisture absorption, which can affect product performance. Keep away from strong oxidizing agents.
