Perfluoroeicosane (CAS 37589-57-4), with the molecular formula C20F42, is a heavyweight linear perfluorinated alkane. It appears as a white, waxy crystalline solid at room temperature. As one of the longer-chain perfluoroalkanes, it possesses extreme thermal stability and the highest degree of chemical resistance. The strong carbon-fluorine bonds throughout the 20-carbon chain make it virtually indestructible by standard chemical agents. It is completely hydrophobic (water-repelling) and lipophobic (oil-repelling), providing a unique surface energy profile for high-end industrial applications where liquid fluorocarbons are too volatile.

• Extreme Chemical Inertness: Resistant to aggressive industrial chemicals, including concentrated acids and strong oxidizers.

• Exceptional Thermal Range: Remains stable at temperatures exceeding 200 degrees C, significantly outperforming hydrocarbon-based waxes.

• Ultra-Low Surface Energy: Provides a permanent non-stick and moisture-barrier surface for industrial components.

• Near-Zero Volatility: Its high molecular weight ensures zero evaporation loss even in high-vacuum or high-heat operations.

• Superior Dielectric Properties: Acts as an excellent electrical insulator for high-frequency and high-voltage applications.

• High Purity (≥ 98.0%): Chemfine maintains rigorous quality control to ensure a consistent crystalline structure.

Standard industrial packaging options for Perfluoroeicosane include:

• 1kg or 5kg high-purity wide-mouth HDPE bottles or specialized fluorinated jars.

• 25kg UN-approved fiber drums with anti-static and moisture-barrier plastic liners.

• Custom small-volume packaging is available for specialized industrial pilot projects.

• All products are nitrogen-purged before sealing to maintain maximum dryness and purity.

Perfluoroeicosane must be stored in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated warehouse. Containers should be kept tightly sealed to prevent environmental contamination. While it is chemically inert, it should be kept away from molten alkali metals and strong reducing agents. Due to its high melting point, it is exceptionally stable at standard ambient temperatures and does not require climate-controlled shipping.
