Description

Ammonium Perfluoroheptanoate is a high-performance fluorinated surfactant and processing aid. This compound is valued for its exceptional ability to lower surface tension and provide oil, water, and stain repellency in demanding industrial applications. It is a critical raw material for manufacturers in the fluoropolymer, electronics, and specialty coatings industries seeking to enhance product performance and durability.

Application

• As a surfactant and emulsifier in the emulsion polymerization of fluoropolymers like PTFE (Teflon®) and PVDF.
• As a leveling and wetting agent in high-performance industrial and architectural coatings to improve film formation.
• As a processing aid and mold release agent in the manufacturing of plastics and elastomers.
• As a key ingredient in fire-fighting foams (AFFF) for creating stable, fast-spreading films on hydrocarbon fuels.
• In the formulation of oil and water repellent treatments for textiles, leather, and paper.
• As a surface modifier and anti-foaming agent in electronic chemicals and precision cleaning solutions.
• In research and development for specialty surfactants with unique chemical and thermal stability.

Quality Control

Our Ammonium Perfluoroheptanoate is manufactured under strict quality management systems. Every batch undergoes rigorous analytical testing to ensure consistent purity, performance, and compliance with relevant industry specifications. A comprehensive Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing assay, impurity profiles, and physical properties is provided with each shipment to guarantee traceability and quality assurance for your production processes.

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). This material is hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive); containers must be kept tightly sealed to prevent absorption of atmospheric moisture, which can affect product quality and performance.
