Documented Uses

• Long-chain perfluoroalkanecarboxylic acids and their salts are surface-active chemicals (surfactants), which greatly reduce the surface tension (surface energy) of water, aqueous solutions, and organic liquids even at low concentrations. These acids (C6- C12) and derivatives are used as wetting, dispersing, emulsifying, and foaming agents. /Long-chain perfluoroalkanecarboxylic acids/
