What is Hexafluoropropylene oxide?

The Uses of Hexafluoropropylene oxide

Hexafluoropropylene oxide is an important intermediate of organic fluorine material.HFPO is mainly used in the manufacture of high-quality fluorinated compounds.It is the main component of perfluor-vinyl ether(PPVE,PSVE,PFVE,PMVE) and the monomer of fluorinated surfactants and fluorinated ether oil.

General Description

Hexafluoropropylene oxide is a colorless odorless gas. Hexafluoropropylene oxide is shipped as a liquefied gas under its vapor pressure. Contact with the liquid can cause frostbite. Its vapors are heavier than air. Hexafluoropropylene oxide can cause asphyxiation by the displacement of air. Exposure of the container to prolonged heat or fire may cause Hexafluoropropylene oxide to rupture violently and rocket.

Reactivity Profile

Hexafluoropropylene oxide is a chlorinated epoxide. Epoxides are highly reactive. They polymerize in the presence of catalysts or when heated. These polymerization reactions can be violent. Compounds in this group react with acids, bases, and oxidizing and reducing agents. They react, possibly violently with water in the presence of acid and other catalysts.

Health Hazard

Vapors may cause dizziness or asphyxiation without warning. Vapors from liquefied gas are initially heavier than air and spread along ground. Contact with gas or liquefied gas may cause burns, severe injury and/or frostbite. Fire may produce irritating, corrosive and/or toxic gases.

Fire Hazard

Some may burn but none ignite readily. Containers may explode when heated. Ruptured cylinders may rocket.

Flammability and Explosibility

Non flammable
