  • Applications

    2,3,3,3-Tetrafluoro-2-(heptafluoropropoxy)propionic acid, CAS 13252-13-6, is commonly used as an intermediate for fluorinated compounds such as fluorinated surfactants and polymers; serves as a building block for fluorinated polymers used in coatings and inks; used as a surface-modifying additive to impart oil and water repellency and to lower surface energy of coatings and print formulations; acts as an intermediate in the manufacture of fluorinated materials and can function as a monofunctional or functional monomer to improve polymerization efficiency and the stability of fluorinated systems; in some manufacturing routes it may be considered for electronic-related coatings or dielectric surface applications.
