Description

Potassium n-Ethyl-n-((Heptadecafluorooctyl)Sulphonyl)Glycinate is a highly fluorinated anionic surfactant and a key intermediate in the synthesis of specialty fluorochemicals. This compound is valued for its exceptional ability to impart oil, water, and stain repellency, as well as its unique surface tension reduction properties in demanding environments. It is primarily required by manufacturers in the textile finishing, fire-fighting foam (AFFF), and advanced materials coating industries, where performance under extreme conditions is critical.

Application

• Fire-Fighting Foams (AFFF): A critical fluorosurfactant component in aqueous film-forming foams (AFFF) used for rapid suppression of hydrocarbon fuel fires.
• Textile & Carpet Treatment: Provides durable oil, water, and stain repellency for technical fabrics, outdoor apparel, and carpets.
• Specialty Coatings & Polymers: Used as a surface modifier and additive in fluoropolymer coatings to enhance release properties, chemical resistance, and weatherability.
• Paper & Packaging: Imparts grease and moisture resistance to food packaging, cardboard, and specialty papers.
• Electronics & Semiconductor: Employed in photoresist formulations and as a surfactant in precision cleaning solutions for electronic components.
• Leather & Upholstery Treatment: Used to finish leather goods and upholstery fabrics, providing protection against spills and soiling.

Quality Control

Our production of Potassium n-Ethyl-n-((Heptadecafluorooctyl)Sulphonyl)Glycinate adheres to a strict quality management system. Every batch undergoes rigorous analytical testing, including HPLC for purity and assay, Karl Fischer titration for moisture content, and FT-IR for structural confirmation, to ensure consistency and compliance with agreed specifications. Certificates of Analysis (COA) documenting all critical parameters are provided with each shipment.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area at a controlled room temperature (15-25°C). This material is hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive); ensure containers are kept tightly sealed to prevent absorption of atmospheric moisture. Keep away from strong acids and strong bases.
