1,1,4,4-tetrafluoro-1,3-butadiene

1,1,4,4-Tetrafluoro-1,3-butadiene (CAS 407-70-5) is a fluorinated diene monomer used as a building block in the synthesis of specialty fluoropolymers.

Where is 1,1,4,4-tetrafluoro-1,3-butadiene used?

• Plastics and polymer manufacturing: incorporated into fluoropolymer backbones
• Coatings and linings for industrial cleaning equipment: resins that extend service life and withstand caustic and acidic chemistries
• Co-monomer in research and pilot-scale production of novel fluorinated elastomers
• Its difluorovinylidene end groups make it reactive in polymerization systems.

Good to know: Essential where conventional hydrocarbon monomers cannot deliver the required chemical resistance or thermal stability. Allows precise control over chain structure and crosslink density.
