Perfluorohexane | CAS: 355-42-0 | C6F14 | Manufacturer

Q1. Is Perfluorohexane flammable?

A: No, Perfluorohexane is non-flammable under normal conditions. Its fully fluorinated molecular structure grants it extremely high chemical stability. It does not support combustion and will not ignite even at elevated temperatures, making it suitable for scenarios with strict fire safety requirements.

Q2. Does Perfluorohexane dissolve in water?

A: No, Perfluorohexane is highly hydrophobic and practically insoluble in water. It is also immiscible with most conventional organic solvents, but can mix well with other fluorinated solvents and perfluorocarbon liquids.

Q3. What is the main difference between Perfluorohexane and Perfluorooctane?

A: The core difference lies in carbon chain length and physical properties. Perfluorohexane (C₆F₁₄) has 6 carbon atoms and a boiling point of about 56℃, while Perfluorooctane (C₈F₁₈) has 8 carbon atoms, a boiling point of around 102℃ and higher density. They are selected for different temperature application scenarios.

Q4. Is Perfluorohexane electrically conductive?

A: No, Perfluorohexane is an excellent electrical insulator with extremely low conductivity and high dielectric strength. It will not cause short circuits when in direct contact with electronic components, which is a key reason for its wide application in electronic immersion cooling.

Q5. Can Perfluorohexane be used as a precision cleaning agent?

A: Yes. With low surface tension, high fluidity and chemical inertness, it serves as a precision cleaning agent for microelectronic components and optical parts. It removes particulate contaminants without corroding sensitive materials, and volatilizes rapidly without leaving residue.

Q6. Does Perfluorohexane have environmental impacts?

A: As a perfluorocarbon (PFC), Perfluorohexane has a high global warming potential (GWP) and remains chemically stable in the atmosphere. It is recommended to use it in closed systems, reduce volatilization emissions, and comply with relevant local environmental regulations.

Q7. What materials are compatible with Perfluorohexane?

A: It is compatible with most common metals, glass and engineering plastics such as PTFE, PFA and PP. However, it may cause swelling or damage to some ordinary rubber and elastomers. Fluororubber (FKM) or PTFE seals are recommended for long-term contact.

Q8. What purity grades of Perfluorohexane can you supply?

A: Our standard grade is typically 99%. We can also discuss custom specifications for higher purity, lower moisture, controlled particle levels, or specific analytical requirements.

Q9. What documents can you provide?

A: We can provide COA, SDS, TDS, specification sheet, packing list, commercial invoice and certificate of origin. Please tell us the documents required for your import or compliance process.

Q10. How should Perfluorohexane be stored, and what is its shelf life?

A: Store in a tightly sealed container in a cool, dry, well-ventilated warehouse, away from direct sunlight and heat sources. Keep it separated from strong oxidizers and strong alkalis. Under proper storage, shelf life is typically. Keep the package sealed when not in use.

Q11. What are your shipping and payment terms?

A: We can support common Incoterms such as FOB, CIF, CIP, or DDP [confirm which you offer]. Payment terms can be discussed based on order value, destination, and long-term cooperation. Please contact us for a formal quotation.

Q12. Why should I buy from a manufacturer instead of a trader?

A: Manufacturer direct supply gives you better control over batch consistency, traceability, scalability, technical support, and long-term supply security. It also usually reduces communication layers and can lower total cost of ownership.

Q13. How do I request a sample, COA, SDS, or quotation?

A: Please contact us at tao.hu@asiaisotope.com with your required purity, quantity, packaging, destination, and application. We will recommend the suitable grade and provide the available documents.

Q14. Are you a manufacturer or a trading company?

A: We are a manufacturer. This allows us to control quality, supply stability, and traceability more effectively than trading companies.

Q15. How do you ensure timely delivery?

A: We maintain flexible production planning and stock management for regular grades. Lead time depends on order quantity and packaging requirements, and we will confirm the schedule before order placement.

Q16. What after-sales support do you provide?

A: We provide technical consultation, documentation support, order tracking, and follow-up on quality or logistics issues. Our team is available to assist with application and compliance questions where possible.
