Description

3-Perfluorobutyl-1,2-Epoxypropane is a specialized fluorinated epoxide monomer, a key building block for introducing perfluorobutyl functionality into advanced materials. Its unique structure, combining a reactive oxirane ring with a highly fluorinated side chain, enables the synthesis of polymers with exceptional surface properties, including low surface energy, chemical resistance, and thermal stability. This compound is essential for R&D and production in high-performance coatings, advanced electronics, and specialty surfactants where fluorination is required.

Application

• Fluorinated Polymer Synthesis: A critical monomer for producing fluorinated epoxy resins, acrylates, and polyols used in high-performance coatings and sealants.
• Surface Modification Agents: Used to create low-surface-energy coatings for anti-graffiti, anti-fouling, and easy-clean applications on textiles, optics, and architectural surfaces.
• Electronic Materials: Serves as a precursor for dielectric materials, encapsulants, and photoresists in the semiconductor and microelectronics industries.
• Specialty Surfactants & Fluids: Employed in the formulation of fluorosurfactants for fire-fighting foams, lubricants, and specialty cleaning fluids demanding chemical inertness.
• Adhesive & Composite Modifiers: Imparts oil and water repellency, as well as enhanced chemical resistance, to adhesives and fiber-reinforced composites.
• Pharmaceutical & Agrochemical Intermediates: Used in the synthesis of fluorinated bioactive molecules, leveraging the metabolic stability imparted by the perfluorobutyl group.

Quality Control

Every batch of 3-Perfluorobutyl-1,2-Epoxypropane is manufactured and tested under a strict quality management system. We provide comprehensive analytical data to ensure the product meets the precise requirements for advanced material synthesis. A Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing purity, identity, and impurity profiles is supplied with each shipment, confirming compliance with agreed specifications.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, well-ventilated area at room temperature (15-25°C). Due to its highly volatile nature, ensure containers are kept tightly sealed when not in use to prevent evaporation and potential moisture ingress. Keep away from heat, sparks, and open flame.
