Perfluorooctane (C8F18) is a kind of colorless, transparent and slight kerosene-scented liquid with melting point of -25℃, boiling point of 103℃, it is non-flammable, non-toxic with high chemical stability. Perfluorooctane is insoluble in water, ethanol, acetic acid and formaldehyde, but it's soluble in ether, acetone, dichloromethane, chloroform and chlorofluorocarbons. Decomposition temperature of perfluorooctane with low surface tension, high dielectric strength and good heat resistance is more than 800℃. Perfluorooctane can dissolve a large amount of oxygen and carbon dioxide, and can be used as artificial blood and preserving fluid of organ in combination with other fluorocarbons.

In the field of medicine, perfluorooctane can be used as artificial blood and preserving fluid of organ in combination with other fluorocarbons. Perfluorooctane can be used as cooling medium and insulating fluid in various electrical equipments. In addition, perfluorooctane can also be used as hydraulic transmission fluid and lubricants of precision machinery, cleaning agents, medium of heat transmission, sealing fluid of instrument, chemical reaction media or solvents.
Packing specifications of perfluorooctane include plastic bottle of 500g, plastic cask of 5kg, steel-plastic cask of 25, 50kg. Specific packaging specifications can be customized according to user requirements. Perfluorooctane is stored in a shady and ventilated storeroom away from fire and heat source. It should be separately stored with edible chemicals and alkali metal.
