Fluorochemicals — A Key to Our High-Tech World

Fluorine is the most electronegative of all the elements,and it has one of the highest ionization potentials. When substituted for one or more hydrogen atoms, fluorine’s presence in a molecule can have a profound effect on physical properties, reactivity, biological activity, solvency and stability.

The following are just a few of the numerous applications that benefit from fluorochemistry:

  • Pharmaceuticals
    fluorinated compounds have shown efficacy as antibacterials, antifungals, antibiotics, anesthetics, protease inhibitors and anticancer agents, among many other applications.
  • Agricultural Chemicals
    fluorinated compounds are used as fungicides, herbicides and insecticides and often show more potency than their non-fluorinated analogues. The increased potency allows lower application rates.
  • Advanced Photoresists
    in the quest for finer features in semiconductor lithography, photoresist polymers incorporating fluorine and/or fluorinated substituents exhibit the best combination of optical transparency at shorter wavelengths, etch resistance and solubility.
  • Liquid Crystals
    for use in display devices.
    The addition of fluorine has been found to change viscosity, miscibility, electrical properties, steric characteristics and other qualities that are important to these devices.
  • Fluorinated Surfactants
    utilized as emulsifying and dispersing agents, while related compounds are used as repellant finishes or soil-release finishes for textiles. These compounds rely on the ability of fluorine to alter surface-energy properties.
  • Dyes
    the addition of fluorine or fluorinated substituents, such as the CF3 group, has been found to improve the fixation yield, lightfastness and chemical resistance of dyes.
  • Fluoroplastics and Fluoroelastomers
    used as coatings, vessel liners, films, wiring insulation, gaskets, seals, lab equipment and hoses because of their chemical and thermal stability.
  • Ion-Exchange Membranes
    fluoropolymer membranes are used for enhanced chemical and thermal stability in harsh environments.

Today, the company’s fluorochemicals include:

  • Trifluoroacetic Acid (TFA)
    used as a solvent, catalyst or reagent. Building block to make molecules with an attached trifluoromethyl group. Peptide synthesis reagent.
  • Trifluoroacetate esters and salts.
  • Trifluoroacetic Anhydride (TFAA)
    used as building block with chemistry slightly different from TFA.
  • Trifluoroacetyl Chloride (TFAC)
    a more reactive building block.
  • Ethyltrifluoroacetoacetate and derivatives
    to make heterocyclic compounds.
  • Trifluoroethanol (TFE)
    used as a pharmaceutical intermediate, nylon solvent for auto parts fabrication and working fluid in waste heat recovery systems.
  • Trifluoroacetamide and Trifluoroethylamine
    useful nitrogen-containing compounds.
