Description

Potassium Decafluoro(Trifluoromethyl)Cyclohexanesulphonate is a high-performance, fluorinated anionic surfactant and electrolyte salt. This compound is valued for its exceptional thermal and chemical stability, low surface tension, and high ionic conductivity, making it a critical component in advanced industrial processes. It is primarily sought by manufacturers in the electronics, specialty polymer, and energy storage sectors for demanding applications where conventional materials fail.

Application

• Lithium-Ion Battery Electrolytes: As a high-performance additive or co-salt to enhance thermal stability, cycle life, and safety of high-voltage cathodes.
• Fluorinated Surfactants & Coatings: Used in the formulation of fire-fighting foams, stain-resistant coatings, and leveling agents for high-performance paints.
• Electroplating & Surface Treatment: Acts as a wetting agent and conductivity salt in hard chromium plating and other metal finishing baths.
• Specialty Polymer Synthesis: Serves as an emulsifier or initiator in the polymerization of fluorinated monomers (e.g., PTFE, FKM).
• Electronic Chemicals: Utilized in the formulation of etching solutions and cleaning agents for semiconductor manufacturing.
• Chemical Intermediate: A key precursor for synthesizing other perfluorinated sulphonate derivatives and specialty fluorochemicals.

Quality Control

Our Potassium Decafluoro(Trifluoromethyl)Cyclohexanesulphonate is manufactured under strict quality management systems. Each batch undergoes rigorous analytical testing, including NMR, HPLC, and ion chromatography, to ensure high purity and consistency. Certificates of Analysis (COA) detailing purity, impurity profiles, and key physical parameters are provided with every shipment to guarantee compliance with your specific application requirements.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated place at room temperature (15-25°C). This material is hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive); containers must be kept tightly sealed and under a dry inert atmosphere (e.g., nitrogen or argon) for long-term storage to prevent degradation.
