CAS 423-55-2: Perfluorooctyl bromide
Description:Perfluorooctyl bromide, with the CAS number 423-55-2, is a perfluorinated compound characterized by a long carbon chain fully substituted with fluorine atoms, along with a bromine atom. This substance is part of a class of chemicals known for their unique properties, including high thermal stability, low surface tension, and resistance to chemical degradation. Perfluorooctyl bromide is typically a colorless liquid at room temperature and exhibits low volatility. Its hydrophobic and lipophobic characteristics make it useful in various applications, including as a surfactant and in specialized formulations for coatings and emulsions. However, due to its perfluorinated nature, it raises environmental and health concerns, particularly regarding persistence in the environment and potential bioaccumulation. Regulatory scrutiny has increased around such compounds, leading to ongoing research into their safety and alternatives. Proper handling and disposal are essential to mitigate any potential risks associated with exposure to this chemical.
