Description

Ammonium Perfluorohexane-1-Sulphonate is a high-performance fluorinated surfactant and anionic perfluorinated alkyl substance (PFAS). This compound is valued for its exceptional ability to dramatically lower surface tension in aqueous and organic systems, providing superior wetting, leveling, and anti-static properties. It is a critical material for manufacturers in the electronics, coatings, and specialty polymer industries seeking to enhance product performance and process efficiency.

Application

• Electroplating & Metal Finishing: As a highly effective wetting agent and mist suppressant in chromium plating and other hard metal plating baths.
• Fire-Fighting Foams (AFFF): A key ingredient in aqueous film-forming foams (AFFF) used for combating flammable liquid fires, particularly in aviation and petrochemical settings.
• Specialty Coatings & Inks: Provides superior leveling, wetting, and anti-cratering properties in high-performance paints, varnishes, and printing inks.
• Polymerization (Emulsion & Dispersion): Acts as an emulsifier and stabilizer in the synthesis of fluoropolymers like PTFE (Teflon™) and other specialty plastics.
• Electronic Chemicals: Used in etching and cleaning formulations for semiconductors and electronic components due to its stability and surface activity.
• Oil & Gas Recovery: Functions as a surfactant in enhanced oil recovery (EOR) formulations and as a friction reducer in drilling fluids.

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. Keep away from strong acids, strong bases, and strong oxidizing agents.
