Description & Characteristics

Perfluoro-1,4-dimethylcyclohexane, C8F16 is a fully-fluorinated, odourless, colourless liquid with the following characteristics:

  • Compatibility with most construction materials
  • Excellent chemical and thermal stability
  • Non flammability
  • Practically non-toxic1
  • Applications

    Perfluoro-1,4-dimethylcyclohexane is predominantly used in tracing and tagging applications under the trade name TG p-PDMCH.

    Safety, Handling and Storage

    Although Perfluoro-1,4-dimethylcyclohexane is considered biologically and chemically inert, good laboratory practice should be observed when handling. Perfluoro-1,4-dimethylcyclohexane has an indefinite shelf life if properly stored in its original sealed container. Safety data sheets are available on request.
