Description

Perfluoro-C8-14-Alkylalcohols are a specialized class of fluorinated alcohols characterized by their fully fluorinated carbon chains ranging from 8 to 14 atoms in length. These compounds are highly valued for their exceptional chemical and thermal stability, low surface energy, and unique hydrophobic/oleophobic properties. They serve as critical intermediates and performance additives in advanced manufacturing, particularly for industries requiring extreme material durability and resistance to harsh environments.

Application

• Fluorinated Surfactants & Leveling Agents: Key raw materials for synthesizing high-performance fluorosurfactants used in coatings, paints, and fire-fighting foams.
• Polymer Modification: As monomers or modifiers for producing fluoropolymers and fluoroelastomers with enhanced chemical resistance and low friction.
• Textile & Leather Finishing: Imparting durable water, oil, and stain repellency to fabrics, carpets, and leather goods.
• Specialty Additives: Used in lubricants, greases, and electronic fluids to improve performance under extreme conditions.
• Paper & Packaging Coatings: Providing barrier properties against oils and greases in food packaging and specialty papers.
• Electronics & Semiconductor: Utilized in the formulation of anti-reflective coatings and as precursors for dielectric materials.

Quality Control

Our Perfluoro-C8-14-Alkylalcohols are manufactured under stringent quality management systems. Each batch undergoes rigorous analytical testing, including Gas Chromatography (GC) and Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR), to ensure consistent composition, purity, and performance. Certificates of Analysis (COA) detailing the specific chain-length distribution and key parameters are provided with every shipment to guarantee supply reliability and product consistency for your formulations.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, well-ventilated area at room temperature (15-25°C). Due to the highly volatile nature of some components in the mixture, ensure containers are kept tightly sealed when not in use to prevent evaporation and potential concentration shifts.
