    1-(Perfluorohexyl)octane
    Product Introduction

    1-(Perfluorohexyl)octane (CAS 13331-77-8), also known as F6H8, is a "semifluorinated alkane" (SFA) consisting of a perfluorinated hexyl block and a linear octyl hydrocarbon block. It is a clear, colorless, and odorless liquid at room temperature. Due to its hybrid structure, it exhibits unique physical properties, including high density, low surface tension, and excellent spreading coefficients. 1-(Perfluorohexyl)octane (CAS 13331-77-8) is physically and chemically inert, offering a bridge between fluorinated and hydrocarbon phases, making it a critical component in advanced material science and high-tech industrial manufacturing.

     
    Product Selling Points
    • Unique Amphiphilic Character: Bridges the gap between fluorinated and hydrocarbon materials, acting as an exceptional interface mediator.
    • Superior Surface Spreading: Low surface tension allows the liquid to spread rapidly and uniformly over complex surfaces.
    • Chemical and Thermal Stability: Highly resistant to degradation under harsh industrial conditions, ensuring long-term performance.
    • High Dielectric Strength: Completely non-conductive, making it safe for direct contact with high-sensitivity electronic components.
    • Exceptional Purity (greater than or equal to 99.0%): Chemfine ensures a highly refined product with strictly controlled moisture and volatile impurities.
    • Eco-Friendly Profile: Features low vapor pressure and high stability, reducing environmental emissions in closed-loop industrial systems.
     
    Applications
    Specialty Industrial Lubricant Additive

    Used to enhance the wetting properties and load-bearing capacity of lubricants on low-energy metallic or plastic surfaces.

    Electronic Surface Protective Coating

    Applied as a thin-film moisture barrier to provide anti-smudge and hydrophobic properties to sensitive electronic sensors.

    High-Performance Dielectric Heat Transfer Fluid

    Precision Industrial Cleaning Solvent

    Acts as a specialized cleaning agent for removing fluorinated waxes and residues in high-tech manufacturing.

     
    Packaging

    Standard industrial packaging options for 1-(Perfluorohexyl)octane include:

    • 1kg or 5kg high-purity fluorinated HDPE bottles (Ideal for R&D and pilot use).
    • 25kg specialized fluorinated pails or plastic-lined steel drums for industrial production.
    • 200kg bulk drums for large-scale cooling systems or chemical manufacturing.
    • All packaging is sealed under an inert nitrogen blanket to maintain high dielectric strength and purity.
     
    Storage

    1-(Perfluorohexyl)octane should be stored in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated area. Containers must be kept tightly sealed when not in use. While it is chemically inert and non-flammable, it should be protected from direct sunlight and stored away from strong oxidizing agents and molten alkali metals. The product has an indefinite shelf life if stored in its original, unopened container due to its exceptional stability.

    FAQ
    Specialty Industrial Lubricant Additive
    Q: How does F6H8 improve lubricant performance on plastic?
    A: Its semifluorinated structure reduces the surface tension of the lubricant, allowing it to "wet" plastic surfaces that usually repel oils, ensuring a consistent protective film.
    Electronic Surface Protective Coating
    Q: Is the coating permanent?
    A: It forms a highly stable adsorbed layer. While it provides long-term moisture and smudge resistance, durability depends on the mechanical wear the surface receives.
    High-Performance Dielectric Heat Transfer Fluid
    Q: Can this be used for direct immersion cooling?
    A: Yes. Because it is chemically inert and has very high dielectric strength, it can be in direct contact with live electronic circuits without causing shorts or corrosion.
    Precision Industrial Cleaning Solvent
    Q: What makes this better than standard hydrocarbon solvents?
    A: Standard solvents cannot dissolve fluorinated greases or waxes. F6H8 has the unique ability to dissolve both hydrocarbon and fluorinated residues, making it a "universal" precision cleaner.
