Perfluoro-octylethanoic Acid
Stability Hygroscopic
Applications Perfluoro-octylethanoic Acid is an intermediate in the synthesis of Tetrabutylphosphonium 2H,2H-Perfluorodecanoate which is derived from 1,1,2,2-Tetrahydroperfluorodecanol (T294300), which is applied to the formation of a barrier and self-healing coating on zinc metal materials. This compound has also been seen to induce cell death and formation of oxidative or reactive oxygen species in cerebellar granule cells.
