CHEMICAL AND PHYSICAL PROPERTIES
| Physical Description | Liquid |
|---|---|
| Boiling Point | Boil only slightly higher than noble gases of similar molecular weight. /Fluorine compounds, organic (aliphatic)/ |
| Solubility | Poor solvents for all materials except for those with low cohesive energies, such as gases and other PFCs. ... practically insoluble in water and only slightly soluble in hydrocarbons. /Fluorine compounds, organic (aliphatic)/ |
| Decomposition | When heated to decomposition it emits toxic vapors of /hydrogen fluoride/. /Octadecafluorooctane/ |
| Relative Evaporation Rate | Volatilities are much higher than expected based on their molecular weights. /Fluorine compounds, organic (aliphatic)/ |
| Other Experimental Properties | The extremely nonpolar character of perfluoro compounds, C5-C18 and very low forces of attraction between molecules account for their special properties. ... Perfluorocarbons of higher molecular weight are less thermally stable ... most PFCs are stable below 300 °C /Fluorine compounds, organic (aliphatic)/ |
