Description

1-Propanaminium, 2-Hydroxy-N,N,n-Trimethyl-, 3-[(γ-ω-Perfluoro-C6-20-Alkyl)Thio] Derivs., Chlorides is a specialized class of cationic fluorinated surfactants, known for their unique combination of a quaternary ammonium head group and a perfluoroalkylthio chain. This molecular architecture provides exceptional surface activity, thermal stability, and chemical resistance, making them invaluable for demanding industrial applications. These compounds are primarily sought after by formulators in the firefighting foam (AFFF), coatings, and specialty polymer sectors where superior wetting, leveling, and oil repellency are critical.

Application

• Aqueous Film-Forming Foam (AFFF) Concentrates: As a key fluorosurfactant component to create fast-spreading, fuel-resistant films for Class B fire suppression.
• Fluoropolymer Additives: To improve wetting, dispersion, and leveling properties in high-performance coating and paint formulations.
• Oil & Water Repellent Treatments: For textiles, leather, and paper to impart durable stain and soil resistance.
• Electroplating & Metal Finishing: As a wetting agent and mist suppressant in acidic plating baths to enhance surface quality.
• Specialty Cleaning & Etching Solutions: Providing low surface tension in harsh chemical environments for electronics and precision cleaning.
• Adhesive & Sealant Formulations: To improve substrate wetting and adhesion on low-energy surfaces.

Quality Control

Our production of this fluorosurfactant adheres to a rigorous quality management system. Each batch is characterized and tested against stringent internal specifications to ensure consistency in performance-critical parameters such as active content, fluorine content, and ionic character. A comprehensive Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing assay, identity, and impurity profiles is provided with every shipment to support your quality assurance protocols.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area at room temperature (15-25°C). Keep away from strong oxidizing agents and strong bases. The product is hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive); ensure containers are sealed after use to prevent moisture absorption.
