Octanoic acid, pentadecafluoro-, branched - Introduction
Octanoic acid, pentadecafluoro-, branched, also known as perfluorooctanoic acid, is an organic compound. The following is a description of the properties, uses, preparation and safety information of PFOA:
Nature:
Perfluorooctanoic acid is a colorless liquid with a pungent odor. It is a high-boiling liquid, insoluble in water, but soluble in organic solvents. It has a high surface tension and an extremely low coefficient of friction.
Use:
Perfluorooctanoic acid is mainly used as an industrial lubricant and lubricating oil additive to reduce friction and wear. It is also used as a material for special coatings, for example in water-repellent cloths and oil-repellent materials. In addition, perfluorooctanoic acid is also used as an emulsifier and foam stabilizer.
Preparation Method:
The preparation of perfluorooctanoic acid is usually obtained by The hexafluoroacetone hydrolysis reaction of perfluoroacetone anhydride. In the reaction, perfluoroacetone anhydride reacts with water to produce perfluorooctanoic acid.
Safety Information:
Perfluorooctanoic acid has a certain irritation, and exposure to perfluorooctanoic acid may cause skin and eye irritation. Personal protection should be used to avoid contact with skin and eyes. In addition, perfluorooctanoic acid may generate toxic gases when it is decomposed at high temperatures, so the use and heating of excessively high temperatures should be avoided. For industrial use of perfluorooctanoic acid, the relevant safety procedures should be followed.
