Description

1,1,1,2,4,4,4-Heptafluorobutane is a high-purity fluorinated hydrocarbon with the CAS number 86884-16-4, valued for its unique combination of high volatility and low global warming potential. This compound serves as a critical intermediate and specialty solvent in advanced manufacturing processes where performance and environmental compliance are paramount. It is essential for industries focused on precision cleaning, electronics manufacturing, and the development of next-generation refrigerants and propellants.

Application

• Precision Cleaning Agent: Used as a solvent for cleaning delicate electronic components, optical lenses, and medical devices due to its high volatility and non-flammable nature.
• Refrigerant & Propellant Formulation: Acts as a key component in low-GWP (Global Warming Potential) blends for refrigeration, air conditioning, and aerosol propellant systems.
• Chemical Intermediate: Serves as a versatile building block in the synthesis of more complex fluorinated organic compounds for pharmaceuticals and agrochemicals.
• Electronics Manufacturing: Employed in vapor phase soldering and as a carrier fluid in the deposition of thin films.
• Fire Suppression: Investigated for use in clean agent fire extinguishing systems where rapid vaporization and electrical non-conductivity are required.
• Laboratory & Analytical Use: Utilized as a specialty solvent or mobile phase component in chromatography and spectroscopy.

Quality Control

Every batch of our 1,1,1,2,4,4,4-Heptafluorobutane is produced and tested under a strict quality management system. We ensure compliance with relevant industry standards and customer-specific requirements. Comprehensive testing, including purity assay and impurity profiling by GC and GC-MS, is performed. A Certificate of Analysis (COA) documenting all critical parameters is provided with each shipment to guarantee traceability and product integrity.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, well-ventilated area away from heat sources and incompatible materials. Due to its highly volatile and gaseous nature under standard conditions, containers must be kept sealed and handled in accordance with pressure regulations. Recommended storage temperature is 15-25°C.
