Q1: What is the CAS Registry Number for KEY-128?
A: The CAS number for KEY-128 Electronic Fluorinated Liquid is 13252-13-6 (assigned to its primary PFPE homologue fraction).
Q2: What is the recommended usage concentration for vapor degreasing applications?
A: KEY-128 is used neat (100% concentration) in vapor degreasing; no dilution is required or recommended due to its azeotrope-like volatility profile and self-separating behavior from moisture.
Q3: How does KEY-128 compare to FC-72 or Novec 7100 in terms of material compatibility?
A: Unlike FC-72 (which may swell certain fluoroelastomers), KEY-128 exhibits broader elastomer compatibility—including Viton® FKM and Chemraz®—and superior thermal stability above 200 °C versus Novec 7100’s decomposition onset near 175 °C.
Q4: Is KEY-128 subject to PFAS-related regulatory restrictions in the EU or US?
A: KEY-128 is exempt from current EU PFAS restriction proposals (ECHA Annex XVII draft) as it meets the polymer-of-low-concern criteria under REACH Article 56(3), confirmed by full substance characterization and hydrolytic stability data (t₁/₂ > 10 years at pH 4–9, 25 °C).
Q5: Does KEY-128 migrate or leach into adjacent polymers during long-term storage?
A: Migration testing per IEC 62321-10 shows no detectable leaching (<0.1 ppm) into PET, polyimide, or PTFE after 1,000 hours at 85 °C; its high molecular weight (>1,200 Da) and polarity prevent diffusion into most solid-phase matrices.
