Description

Perfluorohexane is a colorless, odorless gas that has high thermal expansion and low water vapor pressure. It is used as a solvent in the chemical industry and in the production of polymers. The chemical properties of perfluorohexane are similar to those of hexane and it can be used as a replacement for hexane in some applications. The solubility of perfluorohexane in water is higher than that of hexane and so it does not dissolve as much water when exposed to humid air. This increased solubility means that perfluorohexane has a lower risk of causing skin irritation or tissue damage when compared with hexane.
Perfluorohexane is not toxic to liver cells or human serum, but it is toxic to fibroblasts derived from human skin. Perfluorohexane also has no effect on phase transition temperature or chemical stability when compared with hexanes.
