CAS 21934-50-9: 1-Heptanesulfonic acid, 1,1,2,2,3,3,4,4,5,5,6,6,7,7,7-pentadecafluoro-,sodium salt
Description:1-Heptanesulfonic acid, 1,1,2,2,3,3,4,4,5,5,6,6,7,7,7-pentadecafluoro-, sodium salt, commonly referred to as a fluorinated surfactant, is characterized by its unique structure that includes a long hydrophobic hydrocarbon chain and a highly fluorinated segment. This compound exhibits excellent surface-active properties, making it effective in reducing surface tension in various applications. The presence of the sulfonic acid group contributes to its solubility in water, while the fluorinated portion enhances its stability and resistance to degradation. This substance is often utilized in specialized applications such as in the formulation of coatings, emulsifiers, and dispersants due to its ability to modify surface properties. Additionally, its sodium salt form enhances its solubility in aqueous environments, making it suitable for use in various industrial processes. However, due to the environmental concerns associated with fluorinated compounds, its use is often regulated, and safety data should be consulted to ensure proper handling and disposal.
