Description

Potassium n-(4,4,5,5,6,6,7,7,8,8,9,9,10,10,11,11,11-Heptadecafluoro-2-Hydroxyundecyl)-n-Methylglycinate is a highly specialized fluorinated surfactant and glycinate derivative, engineered to deliver exceptional surface activity and stability in demanding environments. Its unique molecular structure, featuring a long perfluoroalkyl chain, provides outstanding oil and water repellency, low surface tension, and chemical inertness. This makes it a critical performance additive for advanced materials, coatings, and specialty chemical formulations across high-tech industries.

Application

• Fluorinated Surfactant & Leveling Agent: Used in high-performance coatings, paints, and inks to improve wetting, leveling, and reduce surface defects.
• Oil & Water Repellent Finishes: A key ingredient for treating textiles, leather, and paper to impart durable stain and liquid repellency.
• Fire-Fighting Foam Concentrate (AFFF/FP): Acts as a critical fluorosurfactant component in aqueous film-forming foams for combating flammable liquid fires.
• Specialty Polymer Additive: Enhances the surface properties and processing of fluoropolymers and other high-performance plastics.
• Electronic Chemicals: Employed in photoresist formulations and electronic coating materials for the semiconductor industry.
• Metal Plating & Surface Treatment: Functions as a wetting agent and mist suppressant in chromium plating and other metal finishing baths.
