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. References Yabuki, A. et al.: Mat.
