Hexakis(1H,1H,7H-perfluoroheptoxy)phosphazene (CAS 3830-74-8)

Hexakis(1H,1H,7H-perfluoroheptoxy)phosphazene is a complex organic molecule featuring a central phosphazene core flanked by six perfluoroheptoxy groups, giving it a symmetrical, cage-like structure. This compound stands out for its low surface energy, attributed to its highly fluorinated nature, making it an ideal candidate for non-stick coatings and surface treatments. These characteristics lead to its application in creating anti-fouling surfaces, release agents, and water and oil repellent coatings. The molecule′s design, with perfluoroheptoxy groups, lends it excellent hydrophobic and oleophobic properties, preventing liquid adhesion and facilitating surface cleanliness. Its robustness against degradation and high fluorination level further contribute to its durability in various applications. Beyond its surface treatment capabilities, it also plays a role in the electronics and microfabrication sectors by coating electronic components to prevent contamination and enhance performance, in addition to its potential as a dielectric material due to its thermal stability and low dielectric constant.
