Product Description
Chemical Name: 3-Ethoxyperfluoro(2,4-dimethylpentane)
Other Name: Perfluoroheptyl ether, Ethyl perfluoroheptyl ether
Equivalent Product: 3M Novec HFE-7500
CAS No: 1032934-86-3
Perfluoroheptyl ether (TPD-HFE-7500, CAS 1032934-86-3) is a high-purity, non-flammable hydrofluoroether fluid and a reliable 3M Novec 7500 replacement and 3M Novec 7500 alternative. It features ultra-low global warming potential and zero ozone depletion capability, fully complying with global environmental protection regulations.
This product inherits the outstanding chemical inertness and superior dielectric performance of perfluorocarbons (PFCs) and perfluoropolyethers (PFPEs). It is insoluble in water, and will not corrode most metals, plastics and elastomers. Classified as a non-VOC substance exempted by the U.S. EPA, it has become an ideal substitute for traditional perfluorinated fluids. With stable thermal performance, excellent fluid characteristics and comprehensive material compatibility, it is suitable for long-term continuous operation in high-end industrial cooling, precision testing and chemical production scenarios.

Safety Operation Guidelines:
1. Perfluoroheptyl ether (TPD-HFE-7500) is a volatile hydrofluoroether. It will decompose under high temperature, generating toxic hydrogen fluoride and fluorocarbon organic compounds. Strictly keep away from heat sources, fire sources and high-temperature environments.
2. During operation, avoid liquid splashing into eyes and direct skin contact. Wear protective gloves, gas masks and safety goggles as mandatory protective gear.
3. Seal the container tightly immediately after use to prevent product volatilization and quality loss. Thoroughly clean hands after operation.
4. Conduct all operating procedures in a well-ventilated workshop to reduce the concentration of volatile gas.
Packing
N.W.5KG Plastic drums or N.W.25KG, N.W.250KG Iron drums.
Transportation & Storage
1. Transported as a non dangerous chemical.
2. It should be stored in a clean, dry and ventilated warehouse.
3. Keep the container closed to prevent high temperature and sunlight, away from heat source, fire source and strong alkali.
