Description
Hexafluoroisopropyl Acrylate (CAS 2160-89-6, EC 218-479-1) is a fluorinated acrylic monomer commercially known as HFIPA, HFIP-A, and R 7210. It carries no assigned E-code. The hexafluoroisopropyl ester group imparts strong electron-withdrawing character, distinguishing it from standard acrylate monomers.
In fluoropolymer synthesis, HFIPA copolymerizes with other acrylates or vinyl monomers to introduce oleophobic and hydrophobic surface properties into coatings used in aerospace components and printed circuit board encapsulants. The fluorinated side chain lowers surface energy at the polymer interface, reducing adhesion of oils, flux residues, and atmospheric contaminants without requiring post-treatment steps.
Hexafluoroisopropyl Acrylate is supplied as a technical-grade clear liquid and falls under HS code 29161290. It is subject to REACH registration requirements within the EU. Packaging is available in laboratory quantities through to drum volumes; suppliers should be consulted directly for current lot specifications and documentation.
