1,1,1,2,2,3,3,4,4,5,5,6,6,7,7,8,8,9,9,10,10,11,11,12,12,13,13,14,14-Nonacosafluoro-16-Iodohexadecane is a highly fluorinated, iodinated alkane, a specialized perfluoroalkyl iodide (PFAI) building block of significant industrial importance. Its unique molecular structure, featuring a long perfluorinated chain terminated by a reactive iodine atom, makes it a critical precursor for synthesizing advanced fluorinated surfactants, polymers, and surface modifiers. This compound is essential for R&D and manufacturing in sectors demanding extreme chemical inertness, thermal stability, and low surface energy. The CAS number for this compound is 65510-55-6.

Application

This perfluoroalkyl iodide serves as a versatile intermediate for creating high-performance fluorinated materials. Key application areas include:

• Fluorinated Surfactant & Polymer Synthesis: A fundamental building block for manufacturing perfluoropolyethers (PFPEs), fluorinated acrylates, and other specialty fluoropolymers.
• Surface Modification Agents: Used to create oil-, water-, and stain-repellent coatings for textiles, paper, and leather.
• Firefighting Foams (Historical/Formulation R&D): As a key intermediate in the synthesis of certain fluorosurfactants historically used in aqueous film-forming foams (AFFF).
• Electronics & Semiconductor Industry: Employed in the plasma etching and surface treatment processes for semiconductors, where precise fluorocarbon layers are required.
• Pharmaceutical & Agrochemical Intermediates: Used in the synthesis of fluorinated active ingredients or metabolites, leveraging the stability of the carbon-fluorine bond.
• Lubricants & Greases: As a precursor for high-performance fluorinated lubricants that are stable under extreme temperatures and harsh chemical environments.

A comprehensive Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing purity, identity, and impurity profiles is provided with every shipment to support your quality assurance and regulatory needs.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, well-ventilated place away from strong acids and organic solvents. Recommended storage temperature is between 2°C and 8°C (refrigerated) for long-term stability, although it may be stored at room temperature (15-25°C) for short periods. Keep container tightly sealed when not in use to prevent moisture ingress and decomposition.
