1H,1H,2H,2H-Perfluorooctyltriethoxysilane is used as an active component of fluorine modified ORMOCER (organically modified ceramics) coating materials. It is a fluorine based polymer having low surface free energy, enhances its anti-adhesive behavior of polar and non-polar substances. Its wetting property acts in repelling aqueous electrolyte solution away from metallic substrates, thereby giving protection to metal substrate from corrosion. It is utilized in the surface modification of glass nanoparticles.
This Thermo Scientific Chemicals brand product was originally part of the Alfa Aesar product portfolio. Some documentation and label information may refer to the legacy brand. The original Alfa Aesar product / item code or SKU reference has not changed as a part of the brand transition to Thermo Scientific Chemicals.
