Usage

General Description

Perfluoro-C8-14-alkylalcohols are a group of chemicals with a perfluorinated carbon chain of 8 to 14 carbons in length, bonded to an alcohol functional group. These chemicals are often used as surfactants and surface active agents in industrial and consumer products such as cleaning agents, coatings, and fire-fighting foams. They are known for their strong water and oil repellent properties, as well as their stability and resistance to environmental degradation. While perfluoro-C8-14-alkylalcohols have been useful in a wide range of applications, there are concerns about their persistence in the environment and potential health effects, as they can bioaccumulate in living organisms and have been linked to adverse effects on reproduction and development in animals. As a result, some regulatory bodies and manufacturers have taken steps to restrict or phase out the use of these chemicals in certain products.
