Hexafluoropropylene Oxide Dimer Acid
Hexafluoropropylene oxide (HFPO) is a well-known versatile synthetic building block in the
manufacturing of fluoropolymers (such as perfluoroalkoxy plastics) as well as a number of poly- and
per -fluorinated intermediates. Although it is used to produce a vast number of commercial
products, it's reactivity makes its survival in the environment unlikely. However, HFPO can react to
form a stable dimer acid during oligomerization, or other manufacturing processes, which could
lead to its detection in environmental samples. The presence of this HFPO dimer acid (HFPO-DA)
in the environment could be due to residual leaching from commercial products or direct release
during the manufacturing processes.
For this reason, Wellington has synthesized a native and mass -labelled (13C3) hexafluoropropylene
oxide dimer acid reference standard, HFPO-DA and M3HFPO-DA respectively, to aid researchers in
their quantification of this potential environmental contaminant.
