Description

7-Chloroperfluoroheptanoyl Fluoride is a highly fluorinated, reactive acyl fluoride building block. This compound is valued for its ability to introduce perfluoroalkyl chains with a terminal reactive handle, enabling the synthesis of advanced fluorinated materials. It is essential for R&D and production in industries requiring specialized surfactants, polymers, and surface modifiers with unique hydrophobic, oleophobic, and chemical-resistant properties.

Application

• Fluorinated Surfactant & Polymer Synthesis: A key intermediate for manufacturing high-performance fluorosurfactants and fluoropolymers used in coatings, paints, and fire-fighting foams.
• Pharmaceutical & Agrochemical Intermediates: Used to create fluorinated analogs of active ingredients to enhance metabolic stability, bioavailability, and lipophilicity.
• Surface Modification Agents: Imparts oil, water, and stain repellency to textiles, leather, paper, and non-woven fabrics.
• Electronic Chemicals: Employed in the production of specialty fluids for electronics cooling and as precursors for dielectric materials.
• Specialty Additives: Serves as a building block for additives that improve the performance of lubricants, greases, and elastomers.
• Research & Development: A critical reagent in academic and industrial labs for exploring novel fluorocarbon chemistry and material science.

Quality Control

Our 7-Chloroperfluoroheptanoyl Fluoride is manufactured under strict quality management systems. Each batch undergoes rigorous analytical testing, including GC, NMR, and FTIR, to ensure identity, purity, and consistency. A comprehensive Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing assay and impurity profiles is provided with every shipment to support your quality assurance protocols.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area away from heat and incompatible materials such as strong bases, alcohols, and amines. Due to its highly volatile and reactive nature (Fluoride/strong alkali), it should be handled under an inert atmosphere (e.g., nitrogen or argon) in a fume hood. Recommended storage temperature is 2-8°C for extended stability.
