Pentadecafluorooctanoic Acid Ammonium Salt (Cat No.:C001042) is a synthetic compound used in industrial applications and as a surfactant. It is a white crystalline powder with surfactant properties due to its fluorinated structure. The compound is commonly utilized in the production of fluoropolymer resins and coatings, as well as in fire-fighting foams. It is also used in some specialty applications where a stable and hydrophobic surface is required. However, its environmental persistence and potential health risks have raised concerns.
