Product Technical Details

Product Overview

2,3,4,5,6-Pentafluorostyrene is a premier fluorinated monomer designed for high-performance material science applications. Characterized by a styrene backbone fully substituted with fluorine atoms on the aromatic ring, this compound offers exceptional chemical stability and unique physical properties. With a molecular formula of C8H3F5 and a molecular weight of 194.10, it serves as a critical building block for engineers and researchers developing advanced fluoropolymers. Our manufacturing process ensures industrial purity levels suitable for demanding synthesis routes.

The complete fluorination of the phenyl ring significantly alters the electronic and steric properties compared to standard styrene. This modification results in lower surface energies and enhanced thermal resistance, making it an indispensable reagent for creating specialized copolymers. We maintain strict quality control protocols to guarantee consistency across every batch, supporting large-scale industrial production and precise laboratory research.
