CAS 307-55-1: Perfluorododecanoic acid
Description:Perfluorododecanoic acid (PFDA) is a perfluorinated carboxylic acid characterized by a long carbon chain, specifically consisting of twelve carbon atoms fully saturated with fluorine atoms. This unique structure imparts several notable properties, including high thermal stability, resistance to chemical degradation, and low surface tension, making it hydrophobic and lipophobic. PFDA is typically found as a colorless, odorless solid or liquid, depending on the temperature. It is known for its persistence in the environment and bioaccumulation potential, raising concerns regarding its ecological and health impacts. PFDA is used in various industrial applications, including the production of fluoropolymers and as a surfactant in coatings and textiles. However, due to its environmental persistence and potential toxicity, regulatory scrutiny has increased, leading to restrictions on its use in many regions. Overall, PFDA exemplifies the challenges associated with perfluorinated compounds, balancing their utility in industrial applications with the need for environmental protection and human health considerations.
