Application

Perfluorooctyl iodide is widely used as a key intermediate in the synthesis of fluorinated surfactants and polymers, which are essential in applications requiring extreme chemical resistance and low surface energy. It serves as a building block for creating perfluorinated compounds used in coatings, adhesives, and specialty materials for the aerospace and electronics industries. Additionally, this compound is utilized in surface modification to impart hydrophobic and oleophobic properties to various substrates. Researchers also employ it in organic synthesis to introduce perfluorinated chains into target molecules, enabling the development of novel fluorinated materials with tailored properties.
