Description

Perfluoromethyl Methacrylate is a highly fluorinated methacrylate monomer, a key building block for synthesizing advanced fluoropolymers. Its unique chemical structure, featuring a perfluorinated methyl group, imparts exceptional properties such as high chemical resistance, low surface energy, and excellent thermal stability to resulting materials. This compound is essential for R&D and production in industries requiring high-performance specialty polymers, including advanced coatings, optical materials, and specialty adhesives. CAS No. 56487-95-7.

Application

• Fluoropolymer Synthesis: A critical monomer for producing high-performance fluorinated acrylic polymers and copolymers.
• Specialty Coatings: Used to formulate hydrophobic, oleophobic, and chemically resistant coatings for electronics, textiles, and industrial equipment.
• Optical Materials: Serves as a precursor for polymers with low refractive index and high light transmittance, suitable for optical fibers and lenses.
• Surface Modification: Employed to graft fluorinated chains onto surfaces, enhancing release properties and reducing biofouling.
• Advanced Adhesives & Sealants: Imparts weather resistance and durability to high-end adhesive formulations.
• Lithography & Photoresists: Used in the development of next-generation photoresist materials for semiconductor manufacturing.
• Fuel & Chemical Resistant Materials: Key component in elastomers and plastics designed for harsh chemical environments.

Quality Control

Our Perfluoromethyl Methacrylate is produced and handled under strict quality management protocols. Each batch undergoes comprehensive analytical testing, including purity assay and impurity profiling, to ensure it meets the stringent requirements for advanced material synthesis. A Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing specific results for purity, identity, and key physical properties is provided with every shipment to guarantee traceability and consistency for your critical applications.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, well-ventilated place, away from heat, sparks, and open flame. Due to its highly volatile nature and sensitivity to fluoride/strong alkali, it should be kept under an inert atmosphere (e.g., nitrogen or argon) and segregated from incompatible materials. Recommended storage temperature is 2-8°C to maximize shelf life and stability.
