Description

Perfluorohexadecane (CAS No. 355-49-7) is a high-purity, fully fluorinated hydrocarbon with the molecular formula C₁₆F₃₄. This synthetic fluorocarbon is characterized by its exceptional chemical inertness, thermal stability, and hydrophobic/oleophobic properties due to the complete substitution of hydrogen atoms with fluorine. Its IUPAC name, 1,1,1,2,2,3,3,4,4,5,5,6,6,7,7,8,8,9,9,10,10,11,11,12,12,13,13,14,14,15,15,16,16,16-tetratriacontafluorohexadecane, reflects its highly symmetrical perfluorinated structure. Perfluorohexadecane is widely utilized in advanced material science, coatings, and specialty lubricants where extreme environmental resistance is required. It is available in rigorously tested batches to ensure consistency for research and industrial applications.
