Description

Ammonium Perfluoro(2-Methyl-3-Oxaoctadecanoate) is a fluorinated ammonium salt surfactant known for its exceptional surface activity and stability. This compound is valued for its ability to dramatically lower surface tension in aqueous and organic systems, even at very low concentrations. It is primarily utilized in industries requiring high-performance, durable surface treatments and fire-fighting formulations. Its unique perfluorinated chain structure provides outstanding chemical and thermal resistance.

Application

• As a key fluorosurfactant in aqueous film-forming foams (AFFF) and fire-fighting fluids.
• Leveling and wetting agent in high-performance coatings, paints, and inks.
• Surface modifier and anti-foaming agent in specialty polymer production (e.g., PTFE, fluoroclastomers).
• Additive for enhancing oil and water repellency in textiles, leather, and paper treatments.
• Critical component in electronic chemicals for wafer cleaning and etching solutions.
• Stabilizer and emulsifier in fluorinated specialty chemicals manufacturing.

Quality Control

Our Ammonium Perfluoro(2-Methyl-3-Oxaoctadecanoate) is manufactured under a strict quality management system. Each batch undergoes rigorous analytical testing to ensure consistent purity, performance, and lot-to-lot reproducibility. Key parameters such as assay, ionic content, and critical impurities are controlled. A comprehensive Certificate of Analysis (COA) documenting all test results is provided with every shipment.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated area. This material is hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive). Keep the container tightly sealed under an inert atmosphere (e.g., nitrogen) to prevent moisture absorption and degradation. Recommended long-term storage temperature: 2-8°C.
