Perfluoro-1,3,5-trimethylcyclohexane, C9F18 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-1,3,5-trimethylcyclohexane is predominantly used as a tracer and taggant under the trade name of Flutec TG-PTMCH.
Safety, Handling and Storage
Although Perfluoro-1,3,5-trimethylcyclohexane is considered biologically and chemically inert, good laboratory practice should be observed when handling. Perfluoro-1,3,5-trimethylcyclohexane has an indefinite shelf life if properly stored in its original sealed container. Safety data sheets are available on request.
