Factory Supply Perfluorooctadecanoic acid with Cas number 16517-11-6 is a high - quality chemical product. The molecular formula of perfluorooctadecanoic acid is C₁₈F₃₆O₂. It appears as a white to off - white powder. This product is carefully synthesized and purified in our factory to ensure a high degree of purity, which meets the requirements of various industrial and scientific applications.
It has a melting point typically in the range of around 120 - 125 °C. The solubility of perfluorooctadecanoic acid is quite unique. It is insoluble in water but soluble in some organic solvents such as chloroform, carbon tetrachloride, and certain fluorinated solvents. These solubility characteristics make it suitable for a variety of chemical processes and reactions.
1. **Surfactant Applications**: Perfluorooctadecanoic acid can act as a surfactant. In industries such as coatings and paints, it can be added to improve the surface tension and wetting properties of the coating materials. This leads to better spreading and adhesion of the coating on the substrate, resulting in a more uniform and durable finish.
2. **Lubricant Additive**: Due to its low surface energy and excellent chemical stability, it can be used as an additive in lubricants. In the field of high - precision machinery, adding perfluorooctadecanoic acid to lubricating oils can reduce friction between moving parts, improve the efficiency of the machinery, and extend its service life.
3. **Materials Science**: It is also used in the modification of polymers. By incorporating perfluorooctadecanoic acid into polymer matrices, properties such as water - repellency, oil - repellency, and chemical resistance of the polymers can be significantly enhanced. This is useful in the production of protective films, membranes, and special - purpose plastics.
When using Factory Supply Perfluorooctadecanoic acid, proper safety precautions should be taken. Wear appropriate personal protective equipment, including gloves, safety glasses, and a lab coat.
1. **Dissolution**: If you need to dissolve the product in an organic solvent, choose a suitable solvent based on the solubility information provided above. Add the powder slowly to the solvent while stirring gently to ensure complete dissolution. The dissolution process should be carried out in a well - ventilated area.
2. **Mixing in Formulations**: When adding it to coatings, paints, or lubricants, follow the recommended dosage rate. Usually, it is added as a percentage of the total formulation. Mix thoroughly using a suitable mixing device to ensure uniform distribution of the perfluorooctadecanoic acid in the formulation.
3. **Storage**: Store the product in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and heat sources. Keep the container tightly closed to prevent moisture and air from entering, which could affect the quality of the product.
1. **Automotive Coating Industry**: A well - known automotive coating manufacturer added perfluorooctadecanoic acid to their top - coat formulation. By adding 1% of this product, they were able to significantly improve the water - beading effect on the car surface. The coating became more resistant to dirt and contaminants, and the overall appearance of the coated cars was more glossy and long - lasting. After a durability test that simulated one - year outdoor exposure, the coated cars showed less signs of fading and peeling compared to the cars coated with the non - modified formulation.
2. **Precision Machinery Lubrication**: A precision machinery factory used perfluorooctadecanoic acid as an additive in their lubricating oil. They found that the friction coefficient between the moving parts was reduced by 15%. This led to a decrease in energy consumption by about 10% in the machinery operation. Moreover, the maintenance frequency of the machinery was also reduced as the wear and tear of the parts were significantly minimized, resulting in cost savings for the factory.
