Main Applications
The ammonium or sodium salt of PFOA is excellent anion surfactant and indispensable for preparation of fluoride resin (PTFE, PVDF, FEP, ETFE) and FKM. PEOA is also effective metal deterget and intermediates of finishing agent for lydrophobic and hydrophilic leather, paper, and fiber. Its ester derivatives can be used as effective and high resolution stationary liquid for chromatogram analysis. Package, Transportation and Storage1,The product is stored in wide-mouth glass bottle, 1.5kg. Each attached attached quality detection report form, and quality certificate which imdicate product name, net weight, grade, production date and manufacturer.2,The product is transported according to dangerous product, and strong shock should be avoided.3,Stored in dry and clean places, and room temperature not above 40°C. Light and heat should be avoided.4,When heating to melt the product, temperature should not exceed 140°C to prevent decompose.Perfluorooctanoic Acid(PFOA)
