Description

Sulfur Tetrafluoride is a highly reactive inorganic compound primarily used as a selective fluorinating agent in organic synthesis. Its core value lies in its ability to introduce fluorine atoms into specific molecular sites, enabling the creation of advanced fluorinated materials and pharmaceuticals. This product is essential for R&D laboratories and industrial manufacturers in the agrochemical, pharmaceutical, and specialty chemical sectors seeking to develop novel compounds with enhanced properties.

Application

• Key intermediate in the synthesis of pharmaceuticals and agrochemicals.
• Fluorinating agent for the production of fluorinated organic compounds and specialty chemicals.
• Used in the electronics industry for plasma etching and chemical vapor deposition (CVD) processes.
• Research and development of new lubricants, polymers, and refrigerants.
• Production of sulfur-based inorganic fluorides and other reactive intermediates.

Quality Control

Our Sulfur Tetrafluoride is produced and handled under stringent quality management protocols. Every batch undergoes rigorous analytical testing, including gas chromatography (GC) and infrared spectroscopy (IR), to ensure high purity and consistency. Certificates of Analysis (COA) detailing purity, identity, and impurity profiles are available upon request to support your quality assurance and regulatory compliance needs.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed, properly labeled, and dedicated cylinder or container, protected from light and stored in a cool, well-ventilated area. Due to its highly volatile and reactive nature (Fluoride/strong alkali), it must be kept away from moisture, heat, and incompatible materials such as strong bases and organic compounds. Store under appropriate pressure conditions as a compressed gas.
