Description

(2,2,3,3,4,4,5,5,6,6,7,7,8,8,9,9,9-Heptadecafluorononyl)oxirane (CAS No. 38565-53-6) is a highly fluorinated epoxy compound with the molecular formula C₁₁H₅F₁₇O. This specialty chemical features a perfluorinated alkyl chain coupled with a reactive oxirane (epoxide) group, making it an excellent candidate for surface modification, hydrophobic coatings, and advanced polymer synthesis. With its exceptional chemical and thermal stability due to the perfluorinated segment, this compound is widely used in high-performance materials requiring low surface energy, oil/water repellency, and resistance to harsh environments. It is available in high purity (≥96%) and is suitable for research, industrial applications, and as a building block for fluorinated polymers or surfactants.

Handling should be performed in a well-ventilated area with appropriate personal protective equipment (PPE) due to its potential reactivity. Store in a cool, dry place away from incompatible materials such as strong acids, bases, and oxidizing agents.

This compound is primarily used as a fluorinated epoxy intermediate for synthesizing hydrophobic and oleophobic coatings, particularly in textiles, electronics, and aerospace materials. It serves as a key monomer for creating fluorinated polymers with enhanced chemical resistance and low friction properties. Researchers also utilize it to modify surfaces for biomedical applications where non-stick or anti-fouling properties are desired.
