Perfluorocarbon Fluids

  • Chapter
Organofluorine Chemistry

Part of the book series: Topics in Applied Chemistry ((TAPP))

Abstract

This chapter deals almost exclusively with the production, properties, and applications of saturated compounds containing only carbon and fluorine, i. e., saturated perfluorocarbons* It updates a previous account1 of a group of commercial perfluorocarbon (PFC) liquids known as Flutec™ Fluids with boiling points lying in the range 29–160°C.1 This range has now been extended to 260°C. Information on gaseous perfluorocarbons has also been included.
