Trifluoromethanesulfonic acid and a series of products are widely used as intermediates in the pharmaceutical and pesticide industries. As an important catalyst used in the chemical industry, it also has a wide application value in the lithium battery industry. It is known as the "powerful pillar" of the 21st century fine chemical industry.
Trifluoromethanesulfonic acid application:
As one of the super acids , Trifluoromethanesulfonic acid is extremely stable with either oxidation or reduction.
It is mainly applied in below fields:
1. Plastic Industry, applied in the synthetic reaction of catalytic chemistry, and adopted as the oligomerization-polymerization catalyst to modify the silicon rubber;
2. Fuel industry, adopted as the catalyst of protonation reaction;
3. Pharmacy industry, such nucleoside, antibiotics, steroid, protein, glycosides etc., a new efficient catalyst of alkylation and acylation reaction of Friedel-Crafts;
4. Synthesis of herbicide and growth regulator;
5. Vitamin synthesis;
6. Sugar industry;
7. Used for special reaction in laboratory studies.
Features
Trifluoromethanesulfonic acid, also known as Triflic acid and with a chemical formula of CF3SO3H, is a strong acid with a trifluoromethanesulfonyl functional group. It is a clear, colorless, hygroscopic liquid that is soluble in polar solvents such as water and ethanol.
Triflic acid is widely used as a catalyst and reagent in organic synthesis due to its strong acidity and ability to activate certain functional groups. It can also be used as an electrolyte in batteries and fuel cells due to its high proton conductivity.
Trifluoromethanesulfonic acid is an important reagent in the production of various organic compounds, particularly in the pharmaceutical, agrochemical, and polymer industries. It is often used as a catalyst in the synthesis of esters, ethers, and other organic compounds. Additionally, it can be used to prepare triflates, which are useful intermediates in organic synthesis.
Triflic acid has a wide range of applications in different industries such as OLED, polymer, and fine chemicals. In the OLED industry, it is used as a dopant in the emissive layer of OLEDs to improve their efficiency and brightness. In the polymer industry, it is used as a curing agent for epoxies and as a modifier for polymeric materials.
Trifluoromethanesulfonic acid is a highly corrosive and reactive substance that requires careful handling and storage. It should be kept in a tightly sealed container and away from oxidizing agents and moisture. Personal protective equipment, including gloves and goggles, should be worn when handling this substance.
In summary, Trifluoromethanesulfonic acid, also known as Triflic acid, is a versatile and important chemical reagent with various applications in organic synthesis, pharmaceuticals, polymers, and OLED industries. Its strong acidity and ability to activate functional groups make it a valuable tool for chemical synthesis and catalysis.
Emergency Treatment for Leakage:
Staff shall evacuate from the contaminated area without delay in case of Trifluoromethanesulfonic acid leakage. In case when staff get burnt, rinse the wounds with a large amount of water first for 15 minutes before sending the staff to hospital. Leakage site shall be treated in possibly shortest time. Staff handling the leakage site must wear protective apparatus (protective suite, protective gloves, positive-pressure breathing apparatus), leaked substances shall be absorbed with inert materials (such as vermiculite, sand or soil) before being put into appropriate containers.
Packing Specifications:
Trifluoromethanesulfonic acid is packed in seamless stainless steel barrel of 90 Kg and 50 Kg, or glass bottle of 1 Kg and 1.5 Kg. Packing form may also be varied according to customers' specific requirements.
Storage and transportation:
Storage tank of Trifluoromethanesulfonic acid shall be sealed and stored in shady and cool warehouse with well ventilation. The warehouse is required to be dry with best temperature no higher than 30°C.
Storage tank of Trifluoromethanesulfonic acid shall be kept far away from heat source and separately from oxidizing agents and alkali.
Storage tank of Trifluoromethanesulfonic acid shall be transported as per requirements of dangerous goods transportation. It shall be transported by means of road transportation or ship containers.
