Octafluorocyclobutane

Octafluorocyclobutane has stable chemical properties, non-toxic and harmless, low global warming potential (GWP) value and zero ozone depletion index (ODP) value. It is a green and environmentally friendly special gas. Due to these good properties, octafluorocyclobutane has been widely used in technical fields such as high-voltage insulation, cleaning and etching, and plasma treatment in recent years.

Process

Octafluorocyclobutane can be produced by the dimerization of tetrafluoroethylene through pyrolysis, quenching, filtration, compression, etc; Octafluorocyclobutane can also be obtained by electrolysis of tetrafluorocyclobutane in anhydrous hydrogen fluoride. Contacting crude octafluorocyclobutane containing impurities with an impurity decomposing agent at a high temperature and then contacting an adsorbent can substantially remove impurities such as fluorocarbons and obtain high-purity octafluorocyclobutane.

Gas	Octafluorocyclobutane
CAS No.	115-25-3
Purity	≥99.9%

Applications

Semiconductors

Octafluorocyclobutane is also widely used in semiconductor etching surfaces. As a higher-level fluorocarbon plasma etching gas, it can be used in combination with lower-level fluorocarbons such as monofluoromethane and difluoromethane, which can greatly improve the etching effect.

Gas Insulation

Octafluorocyclobutane has a low GWP value (8900, only 37% of SF6), and the decomposition products under the action of arcs are fluorocarbons, which are non-toxic or low-toxic substances, and have a certain insulating arc extinguishing ability.

Chemical

According to the chemical properties of octafluorocyclobutane, it can also be used as the main raw material for other chemical products.

What are the uses of octafluorocyclobutane?

Octafluorocyclobutane has a wide range of applications. In recent years, it has been widely used as a refrigerant to replace banned chlorofluorocarbons. In addition, it is also commonly used in gas insulation media, solvents, sprays, foaming agents, large-scale circuit etchant and others. High-purity octafluorocyclobutane (above 5N) is used as etchant and cleaning agent for VLSI.
