Description

Ammonium Perfluorovalerate is a fluorinated organic salt known for its unique surfactant and surface-modifying properties. This compound is valued for its ability to impart oil, water, and stain repellency to various materials, making it a critical component in high-performance formulations. It is primarily utilized by manufacturers in the polymer, textile, and specialty chemical industries seeking to enhance the functionality and durability of their products.

Application

• As a fluorinated surfactant and emulsifier in the polymerization of fluorinated monomers.
• A key raw material for synthesizing surface treatment agents to provide water and oil repellency to textiles, leather, and paper.
• Used in the formulation of fire-fighting foams (AFFF) and other specialty fluorochemical blends.
• As an additive in coatings and paints to improve surface leveling and reduce surface tension.
• In the production of fluoropolymer dispersions for non-stick and protective coatings.
• Potential use as an intermediate in pharmaceutical and agrochemical research for introducing perfluoroalkyl chains.

Quality Control

Our Ammonium Perfluorovalerate is produced under a strict quality management system. Every batch undergoes comprehensive analytical testing, including assay by titration, identification by FT-IR, and determination of key impurities. A Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing purity, moisture content, and other critical parameters is provided with each shipment to ensure compliance with your specifications and industry standards.

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) and must be kept in a dry environment to prevent caking or decomposition. Keep away from strong acids and strong bases.
