Potassium Perfluorohexanoate is a specialized surfactant derived from perfluorinated carboxylic acids via neutralization. Its chemical structure features a fully fluorinated carbon chain, providing exceptional thermal stability and low surface tension. The molecular formula is C6F13KO2, with CAS number 2075-48-9.
This substance is classified as an environmental hazard due to bioaccumulation potential; strict regulatory compliance (e.g., REACH) is mandatory. Storage requires sealed containers in cool, dry environments away from incompatible oxidizers. Personal protective equipment including nitrile gloves and respirators is essential during handling to prevent inhalation or skin contact.
