Description

n-Ethyl-n-[(Pentadecafluoroheptyl)Sulphonyl]Glycine is a specialized fluorinated surfactant and anionic perfluorooctane sulfonate (PFOS) derivative. This compound is engineered to deliver exceptional surface tension reduction, chemical stability, and oil/water repellency in demanding environments. It is a critical raw material for formulators and manufacturers in the fire-fighting foam (AFFF), metal plating, photographic, and high-performance coating industries where fluorosurfactant performance is paramount.

Application

• Fire-Fighting Foams (AFFF): A key component in aqueous film-forming foams (AFFF) for rapid knockdown and suppression of hydrocarbon fuel fires.
• Metal Plating & Surface Treatment: Used as a mist suppressant and wetting agent in chromium plating and other electroplating baths to improve surface quality and reduce environmental emissions.
• Photographic & Imaging: Acts as a surfactant and leveling agent in photographic film and paper coatings to ensure uniform development and high image quality.
• High-Performance Coatings & Inks: Provides superior wetting, leveling, and anti-cratering properties in fluoropolymer coatings, inks, and adhesives.
• Oil & Gas Industry: Employed in drilling muds and oil recovery formulations as a surfactant and flow improver.
• Specialty Cleaning & Etching: Used in formulations for precision cleaning of electronic components and in acid etching solutions for semiconductors.
