Description

6H-Perfluorohexyl Iodide is a high-value perfluoroalkyl iodide building block, essential for introducing a highly fluorinated segment into organic molecules. Its primary value lies in its ability to impart unique properties such as extreme hydrophobicity, oleophobicity, and chemical inertness to advanced materials. This compound is critically needed by R&D chemists and process engineers in the pharmaceutical, agrochemical, and specialty polymer industries for synthesizing surfactants, surface modifiers, and fluorinated intermediates. The product is supplied under the CAS registry number 63703-16-2.

Application

• Fluorinated Surfactant & Polymer Synthesis: A key precursor for manufacturing perfluoroalkylated surfactants, dispersants, and high-performance fluoropolymers with oil- and water-repellent characteristics.
• Pharmaceutical & Agrochemical Intermediates: Used to create fluorinated bioactive molecules, enhancing metabolic stability, lipophilicity, and membrane permeability in drug discovery and crop protection agents.
• Surface Modification & Coatings: Employed to graft perfluoroalkyl chains onto surfaces (textiles, electronics, membranes) to achieve durable hydrophobic and anti-fouling properties.
• Lithium Battery Electrolyte Additives: Serves as a starting material for synthesizing fluorinated electrolyte additives that improve battery safety and performance at high voltages.
• Fluorous Chemistry & Catalysis: Used in fluorous synthesis and the preparation of fluorous-tagged reagents and catalysts for easy separation and recycling.
• Specialty Material Research: Fundamental building block in academic and industrial R&D for developing novel fluorinated materials with tailored properties.
