Description

Hexafluoropropene (CAS 116-15-4) is a high-purity fluorinated olefin with the molecular formula C₃F₆, widely utilized in advanced chemical synthesis and industrial applications. This colorless, odorless gas is characterized by its exceptional thermal stability and chemical inertness, making it a critical precursor in the production of fluoropolymers, elastomers, and specialty chemicals. Its IUPAC name, 1,1,2,3,3,3-hexafluoroprop-1-ene, reflects its highly fluorinated structure, which contributes to its unique reactivity in polymerization and surface modification processes. Packaged in certified cylinders under controlled conditions, our Hexafluoropropene meets stringent purity standards (>99.5%) for research, electronics, and pharmaceutical applications. Handle with care in well-ventilated environments using appropriate PPE due to its low boiling point (-29°C) and potential asphyxiation risks.

Application

Hexafluoropropene serves as a key monomer in the synthesis of fluorinated polymers like fluorinated ethylene propylene (FEP) and perfluoroelastomers, enhancing material properties such as chemical resistance and thermal stability. In electronics, it is used as a plasma etching gas for semiconductor manufacturing due to its selective reactivity with silicon substrates. The compound also finds application as an intermediate in pharmaceutical synthesis and as a refrigerant component in specialized cooling systems.
