Perfluoropentanoic acid Usage And Synthesis

Chemical Properties

colourless liquid

Uses

Perfluoropentanoic acid is a short-chain perfluorocarboxylic acid (PFCA) generally used as an industrial surfactant and surface protector.

Definition

ChEBI: Perfluoropentanoic acid is a monocarboxylic acid that is perfluorinated pentanoic acid. It has a role as an environmental contaminant and a xenobiotic. It is functionally related to a valeric acid.

Synthesis Reference(s)

Synthesis, p. 647, 1991 DOI: 10.1055/s-1991-26535

General Description

Perfluoropentanoic acid, also known as nonafluoropentanoic acid, is a monocarboxylic acid that can be utilized as a surfactant, surface protector, stain repellent, fire-fighting foam,?emulsifier, and also in the production of fluoropolymers.
