Description

n-Ethyl-n-[(Tridecafluorohexyl)Sulphonyl]Glycine is a specialized fluorinated surfactant and anionic perfluorooctane sulfonate (PFOS) alternative, known for its exceptional surface activity and chemical stability. This compound is engineered to provide superior performance in demanding environments where high thermal stability, chemical resistance, and low surface tension are critical. It is essential for manufacturers in the fire-fighting foam, metal plating, electronics, and specialty polymer industries seeking high-performance, environmentally conscious fluorosurfactant solutions.

Application

• Fire-Fighting Foams (AFFF): A key ingredient in aqueous film-forming foams (AFFF) for creating a fast-spreading, vapor-suppressing film on hydrocarbon fuel fires.
• Metal Plating & Surface Treatment: Used as a wetting and leveling agent in chromium plating and other electroplating baths to improve surface finish and reduce surface defects.
• Electronics Manufacturing: Employed as a surfactant in photoresist developers and etching solutions for semiconductor and printed circuit board (PCB) fabrication.
• Specialty Polymer Synthesis: Acts as a polymerization aid and surfactant in the production of fluoropolymers like PTFE (Teflon) to control particle size and dispersion.
• Oil & Gas Industry: Functions as a mist suppressant in acidizing fluids and as a surfactant in enhanced oil recovery (EOR) formulations.
• Coating & Ink Formulations: Provides excellent wetting, leveling, and anti-cratering properties in high-performance coatings, paints, and inks.

Quality Control

Our n-Ethyl-n-[(Tridecafluorohexyl)Sulphonyl]Glycine is manufactured under strict quality management systems. Each batch undergoes rigorous analytical testing, including HPLC for purity and assay, NMR and IR for structural confirmation, and Karl Fischer titration for moisture content, to ensure it meets precise customer specifications. A comprehensive Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing all test results is provided with every shipment to guarantee traceability and compliance with industry standards.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area at a controlled room temperature (15-25°C). This material is hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive) and should be kept under dry conditions to prevent degradation. Keep away from strong bases and incompatible materials.
