Description

Pentafluorophenyl Acrylate is a highly reactive fluorinated acrylate monomer, a key building block for advanced polymeric materials. Its value lies in the unique combination of the polymerizable acrylate group and the electron-deficient, lipophilic pentafluorophenyl moiety, which imparts exceptional properties to resulting polymers. This compound is essential for researchers and manufacturers in the fields of specialty polymers, surface coatings, and advanced material science, where tailored chemical functionality is required.

Application

• Synthesis of Functional Polymers: Used as a reactive monomer to incorporate pentafluorophenyl ester groups into polymer backbones (e.g., poly(pentafluorophenyl acrylate)), enabling facile post-polymerization modification.
• Surface Modification & Coatings: Creates hydrophobic, oleophobic, and chemically resistant surfaces for textiles, membranes, and electronic components.
• Bioconjugation & Biomedical Materials: Serves as an activated ester for coupling with amines in peptides, proteins, or drug molecules to create polymer-drug conjugates or functional hydrogels.
• Lithography & Photoresists: A valuable component in the formulation of advanced photoresists for semiconductor manufacturing due to its etch resistance and reactivity.
• Adhesives & Sealants: Imparts enhanced chemical stability and adhesion properties to specialty adhesive formulations.
• Crosslinking Agent: Acts as a reactive crosslinker in thermoset resins to improve thermal and chemical resistance.
• Research & Development: A critical reagent for academic and industrial R&D in polymer chemistry and materials science.

Quality Control

Our Pentafluorophenyl Acrylate is produced under stringent quality management protocols. Every batch undergoes comprehensive analytical testing, including chromatography (HPLC, GC) and spectroscopy (NMR, IR), to ensure high purity and consistent performance. A detailed Certificate of Analysis (COA) is provided with each shipment, confirming compliance with agreed specifications. We support custom synthesis to meet specific purity or packaging requirements.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated place at temperatures between 2°C and 8°C (refrigerated) or as specified on the label. Keep away from heat, sparks, and open flame. This material is moisture-sensitive and should be handled under an inert atmosphere (e.g., nitrogen or argon) for long-term storage to prevent polymerization or hydrolysis.
