Fluoro-Silanes
Oleophobic Fluoroalkyl Silane (C10, Ethoxy) | Manta F1732
Manta F1732 is 1H,1H,2H,2H-perfluorodecyltriethoxysilane (CAS 101947-16-4), a long-chain fluoroalkyl silane that bonds to glass, ceramics and metal oxide surfaces to form a nanometer-thin hydrophobic and oleophobic barrier, used in anti-fingerprint coatings, stone and concrete sealers, and metal surface treatment. It releases ethanol on hydrolysis.

Overview
Manta F1732 is a fluoroalkylsilane surface modifier. Unlike standard silicones, it provides both hydrophobicity and oleophobicity. It bonds covalently to substrates and forms a nanometer-thin, invisible barrier with easy-to-clean and anti-fingerprint properties and resistance to chemicals and UV.
Its ethoxy groups release ethanol on hydrolysis, while Manta F1731, with the same fluoroalkyl chain and methoxy groups, releases methanol. F1732 reacts readily with moisture, so local exhaust ventilation is needed during application and formulation.
Long-chain fluoroalkyl substances with a C8F17 group are subject to strict controls. The EU POPs Regulation (EU) 2019/1021 and national rules under the Stockholm Convention cover PFOA-related compounds. Availability depends on destination and end use and is confirmed at inquiry; check that your intended use is permitted before formulating.

Packaging & Storage
Supplied in 1 kg fluorinated bottle, 25 kg pail, 200 kg drum.
Safety and Storage
Hydrolysis Reaction & Ethanol Release: Manta F1732 is highly reactive with moisture. Upon contact with atmospheric humidity or water, it hydrolyzes and releases ethanol. Ensure adequate local exhaust ventilation during application and formulation to prevent the accumulation of ethanol vapors.
Storage Conditions: Store in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated area strictly away from open flames, heat sources, and moisture. Keep containers hermetically sealed at all times.
Shelf Life: 9 months from the date of manufacture when stored properly in original, unopened containers. It is shipped as non-hazardous substance.

Frequently Asked Questions
Should I choose Manta F1732 or Manta F1731?
Both carry the same long fluoroalkyl chain. F1732 has ethoxy groups and releases ethanol on hydrolysis, while F1731 has methoxy groups and releases methanol. Choose by the by-product your process can accept and by how the coating is applied.
Which substrates can Manta F1732 treat?
It bonds chemically to glass, ceramics and metal oxide surfaces, including aluminum, copper and stainless steel, and penetrates natural stone, marble and concrete as a sealer.
Which regulations apply to Manta F1732?
F1732 carries a C8F17 fluoroalkyl group, and PFOA-related rules can apply, including the EU POPs Regulation (EU) 2019/1021 and national rules under the Stockholm Convention. Whether the grade can be supplied depends on the destination and end use. Contact us with both before planning a formulation.
