Colorless Liquid 99.50% 1,1,1,3,3,3-Hexafluoro-2-propanol(HFIP) CAS 920-66-1 Fluorine-containing fine chemicals

Hexafluoroisopropanol (HFIP) is a viscous and colorless liquid with a strong odor. It is an ideal solvent for dissolving polyamides and esters, and it can be used to analyze nylon. Typically, a small amount of sodium trifluoroacetate can be added to the eluent to reduce the aggregation of the sample.

HFIP has a certain viscosity, but its boiling point is very low, so analysis needs to be conducted under conditions of 40°C to reduce the back pressure of the column. Hexafluoroisopropanol is also a highly polar solvent that results in a non-linearity of the calibration curve obtained from the mixed column bed column. Therefore, Agilent has developed a special column - PL HFIPgel column for this solvent, which has a porous structure that is not affected by solvents.

Hexafluoroisopropanol is used to produce high-end chemicals, such as:

• Fluorinated surfactants
• Fluorinated emulsifiers
• Fluorinated medicine

HFIP is also used as a solvent or cleaner in the electronic industry.
