General description

Perfluoropentanoic acid, also known as nonafluoropentanoic acid, is a monocarboxylic acid that can be utilized as a surfactant, surface protector, stain repellent, fire-fighting foam, emulsifier, and also in the production of fluoropolymers.

Application

Perfluoropentanoic acid is used as:
  • An emulsifying agent for polymer dispersion, extinction foams, stain repellents, additives for paints, and coatings.
  • A powerful cation exchanger in ion-pairing chromatography.
