Description

Bis(2-Hydroxyethyl)[2-Hydroxy-4,4,5,5,6,6,7,7,8,8,9,9,10,10,11,11,12,13,13,13-Icosafluoro-12-(Trifluoromethyl)Tridecan-1-Yl]Methylammonium Iodide is a highly fluorinated quaternary ammonium salt with a unique amphiphilic structure, combining a hydrophilic bis-hydroxyethyl head group with a long, heavily fluorinated hydrophobic tail. This compound matters for its exceptional ability to impart both oleophobic and hydrophobic properties to surfaces, making it a powerful surface modifier and surfactant in demanding environments. It is primarily needed by industries developing advanced materials, including high-performance coatings, specialty polymers, and fluorochemical synthesis.

Application

• Fluorinated Surfactant & Additive: Used as a specialty surfactant in fluoropolymer dispersions and high-performance coatings to improve wetting, leveling, and surface properties.
• Surface Modification Agent: Imparts oil, water, and stain repellency to textiles, paper, and non-woven materials.
• Polymer Synthesis Intermediate: Serves as a monomer or functional additive in the synthesis of fluorinated polymers and copolymers for specialized applications.
• Pharmaceutical & Biomedical Research: Potential use as a building block for fluorinated lipids or carriers in drug delivery systems and diagnostic agents.
• Electronics & Semiconductor Processing: Can be utilized in anti-reflective coatings, photoresist additives, or as a surface treatment for electronic components.
• Firefighting Foam Formulations (Legacy/Research): May be investigated for use in specialized fluorosurfactant blends, though regulatory compliance must be verified.
