Break through with Fluorochemical Intermediates
Many of your problems require a breakthrough for their solution. Such a breakthrough may be possible with products such as 3M Fluorad™ Fluorochemical Intermediates. You can think of them as "chemical genes" that can pass on some valuable and unique properties to your compounds. Fluorad Intermediates have been incorporated into products possessing such properties as oil and water repellency, lubricity, release, low surface energy and low solubility in hydrocarbons. The perfluoroalkyl moiety has also been used in a variety of specialty
chemicals to control compatibility with aqueous and non-aqueous media. The following are but a few of the intermediates available: FX-8 Perfluorooctanesulfonyl fluoride FC-10 A C8 Fluorochemical alcohol FX-12 A C8 Fluorochemical sulfonamide FX-13 A C8 Fluorochemical acrylate FX-19 Perfluorobutyryl chloride FC-24 Trifluoromethanesulfonic acid
