Description

Nonafluorohexyltrichlorosilane CAS NO 78560-47-1 is a highly fluorinated organosilicon compound that serves as a key intermediate for introducing low surface energy and hydrophobic/oleophobic properties to materials. Its value lies in its ability to form durable, covalently bonded monolayers on various substrates, providing exceptional chemical resistance and stability. This product is essential for manufacturers in the advanced materials, electronics, and specialty coatings sectors seeking to engineer surfaces with specific performance characteristics.

Application

• Surface Modification Agent: Used to create hydrophobic and oleophobic coatings on glass, metals, ceramics, and polymers for anti-fouling, anti-stain, and easy-clean applications.
• Electronics Manufacturing: Employed as a coupling agent or primer to improve adhesion and moisture resistance in microelectronics, semiconductor packaging, and printed circuit boards.
• Advanced Composite Materials: Functions as a silane coupling agent to enhance the interface between inorganic fillers (like silica) and fluoropolymer matrices, improving mechanical properties.
• Optical Fiber Coatings: Applied to modify the surface of optical fibers to increase durability and environmental resistance.
• Nanotechnology & Self-Assembled Monolayers (SAMs): A critical precursor for creating ordered molecular films on silicon wafers and other surfaces for research and device fabrication.
• Mold Release Agents: Used in the formulation of release coatings for plastics and rubber molding processes.

Quality Control

Our Nonafluorohexyltrichlorosilane is produced under stringent quality management systems. Each batch undergoes rigorous analytical testing, including GC, NMR, and FTIR, to ensure high purity and consistent performance. Certificates of Analysis (COA) detailing purity, identity, and key physical properties are provided with every shipment to support your quality assurance and regulatory compliance needs.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area at temperatures between 2°C and 8°C (refrigerated) to minimize volatility and degradation. Due to its hygroscopic and moisture-sensitive nature, containers must be kept sealed under an inert atmosphere (argon or nitrogen) when not in use. Keep away from strong acids, bases, and oxidizing agents.
