Easy-to-Clean Fluoroalkyl Silane (C8, Methoxy) | Manta F1331

Manta F1331 is a reactive bifunctional silane with hydrolyzable methoxysilyl groups and a low-surface-energy fluoroalkyl chain. It can be diluted to the required application concentration in a wide range of organic solvents, including ethanol, n-hexane, xylene, acetone and ethyl acetate.

F1331 bonds chemically to inorganic substrates and forms a thin protective layer with hydrophobic and oleophobic properties. Manta F1332 carries the same fluoroalkyl chain with ethoxy groups in place of methoxy groups, and releases ethanol rather than methanol on hydrolysis.

Fluoroalkyl silanes can fall under PFAS rules in a growing number of markets. In the EU, substances of this structure can fall within REACH Annex XVII entry 79 (PFHxA and PFHxA-related substances), which restricts uses including consumer mixtures, textiles and cosmetics. Check the rules for your market and end use before formulating; regulatory status is confirmed by grade at inquiry.
