Description

Perfluorooctane (CAS 80793-17-5) is a fully fluorinated hydrocarbon with the molecular formula C₈F₁₈ and IUPAC name 1,1,1,2,2,3,3,4,4,5,5,6,6,7,7,8,8,8-octadecafluorooctane. This high-purity, inert perfluorocarbon is characterized by its exceptional thermal and chemical stability, non-flammability, and low surface tension. With a boiling point of approximately 103-105??C and density of ~1.73 g/mL at 25??C, perfluorooctane serves as an ideal fluid for specialized applications requiring chemical resistance and dielectric properties. Available in research quantities with batch-specific certificates of analysis, this material meets stringent purity standards for laboratory and industrial use. Compatible with fluoropolymer materials and resistant to most acids, bases, and organic solvents, it is supplied in chemically resistant packaging under inert atmosphere to maintain product integrity.

Application

Perfluorooctane is widely utilized as a heat transfer fluid in demanding chemical processes due to its exceptional thermal stability. In electronics manufacturing, it serves as a dielectric coolant for high-performance systems. The compound finds additional applications as an inert reaction medium for organofluorine chemistry and as a reference standard in analytical chromatography. Its oxygen-carrying capacity has been investigated for biomedical applications including blood substitutes and contrast agents.
