Perfluorohexanone is a new type of environmentally friendly clean fire extinguishing agent, used to replace Halon, hydrofluorocarbons (HFC) and perfluoro compounds (PFC) and other series of fire extinguishing agents. It is stored as a liquid and discharged in the form of gas when used. It will not leave any residue and is non-conductive. It helps to protect paper documents and electronic products with preservation value. It has good environmental properties, does not damage the atmospheric ozone layer, and has a very low GWP value.
Eco-Safety: ODP=0, GWP=1 (equal to CO₂), 5-day atmospheric decay, non-toxic and non-corrosive.
High-Efficiency Extinguishing: 4–6% extinguishing concentration (below 10% hazard threshold), suppresses fires within 10 seconds and prevents battery thermal runaway reignition.
Material Compatibility: Non-conductive, residue-free, and safe for metals, plastics, and elastomers.
Broad Temperature Tolerance: Boiling point 49.2℃, freezing point ≤-100℃, operable in -60℃~90℃ environments.
Logistical Advantage: Liquid storage at ambient pressure, no pressurized containers required.
Energy Storage Systems: Inhibits lithium battery thermal runaway, meets GB/T 42288-2022 continuous suppression requirements.
Data Centers/Server Rooms: Protects IT equipment, compatible with immersion cooling (PUE≤1.1).
Cultural Heritage Preservation: Fire suppression for archives, libraries, and museum collections.
Transportation & Power Facilities: Fire protection for ships, rail transit, and substations.
Industrial Special Scenarios: Oil-gas platforms, chemical labs, and precision instrument cleaning.

Q1: What is the primary functional role of Perfluorohexanone EW-1230_copy20260626102158 in industrial formulations?
A: Perfluorohexanone EW-1230_copy20260626102158 is primarily used as a high-performance fluorinated solvent and carrier medium, valued for its chemical inertness, low surface tension, and excellent solvating capability toward specialty fluoropolymers and hydrophobic additives.
Q2: Is this material compatible with common elastomers and sealing materials used in processing equipment?
A: It exhibits good compatibility with perfluoroelastomers (FFKM) and polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE), but prolonged exposure to certain nitrile rubber (NBR) or ethylene propylene diene monomer (EPDM) compounds may cause swelling; compatibility testing under actual operating conditions is recommended.
Q3: How should Perfluorohexanone EW-1230_copy20260626102158 be handled during storage and transfer to maintain stability?
A: Store in tightly sealed, inert containers (e.g., fluoropolymer-lined or stainless-steel drums) under dry, cool conditions away from strong oxidizers and direct sunlight; avoid repeated opening and exposure to ambient humidity to prevent potential trace hydrolysis byproducts.
Q4: Can it be used in vapor-phase cleaning applications?
A: Yes — due to its low boiling point, high volatility, and zero ozone depletion potential (ODP), it is suitable for precision vapor degreasing and cold-wipe cleaning of sensitive electronic and optical components, provided appropriate condenser recovery systems are employed.
