Description

Sodium n-Ethyl-n-[(Tridecafluorohexyl)Sulphonyl]Glycinate is a high-performance fluorinated surfactant and anionic wetting agent. Its unique structure, featuring a long perfluoroalkyl chain, provides exceptional surface tension reduction, chemical stability, and oil/water repellency. This compound is essential for formulators seeking advanced performance in demanding industrial and specialty applications where standard hydrocarbon surfactants fail.

Application

• Firefighting Foams (AFFF): A key fluorosurfactant component in aqueous film-forming foams for rapid knockdown and vapor suppression of hydrocarbon fuel fires.
• Specialty Coatings & Inks: Imparts superior leveling, wetting, and anti-cratering properties in high-performance fluoropolymer coatings, inks, and varnishes.
• Oil & Gas Field Chemicals: Used in formulations for enhanced oil recovery, as a wetting agent in acidizing fluids, and in anti-misting additives.
• Textile & Leather Treatment: Provides durable water, oil, and stain repellency for technical textiles, outdoor apparel, and leather goods.
• Electronic Chemicals: Serves as a surfactant in etching solutions, photoresist developers, and cleaning formulations for semiconductor and PCB manufacturing.
• Polymerization Aid: Acts as an emulsifier and stabilizer in the emulsion polymerization of fluorinated monomers.
