Description

2,2,3,3,4,4,5,5,6,6,7,7-Dodecafluoro-1,8-octanediol is a highly fluorinated diol building block, prized for its ability to impart exceptional hydrophobicity, oleophobicity, and chemical resistance to advanced materials. Its unique perfluoroalkyl chain structure makes it a critical intermediate for synthesizing high-performance polymers and surface modifiers. This compound is essential for R&D and production in industries demanding extreme durability and low surface energy, such as specialty coatings, electronics, and fluoropolymer manufacturing.

Application

• Fluoropolymer Synthesis: A key monomer for producing high-performance fluorinated polyurethanes, polyesters, and epoxy resins with enhanced chemical and thermal stability.
• Specialty Coatings & Surface Modifiers: Used to formulate water- and oil-repellent (stain-resistant) coatings for textiles, optics, and electronic displays.
• Advanced Material Additive: Imparts low surface energy and release properties to plastics, elastomers, and composite materials.
• Pharmaceutical & Agrochemical Intermediates: Serves as a building block for synthesizing novel fluorinated active ingredients and drug candidates.
• Surfactant & Emulsifier Precursor: Used in the development of fluorinated surfactants for demanding applications like fire-fighting foams and specialty cleaners.
• Adhesive & Sealant Formulations: Enhances the moisture resistance and durability of high-performance adhesives and sealants.

Quality Control

Our 2,2,3,3,4,4,5,5,6,6,7,7-Dodecafluoro-1,8-octanediol is manufactured under stringent quality management systems. Every batch undergoes rigorous analytical testing, including HPLC for purity and NMR/IR for structural confirmation, to ensure consistency and compliance with customer specifications. A comprehensive Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing purity, identity, and impurity profiles is provided with each shipment.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated area at room temperature (15-25°C). Due to its hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive) nature, the container must be kept tightly sealed after opening to prevent degradation from atmospheric moisture. Keep away from strong oxidizing agents.
