Perfluorotridecanoic acid is a perfluorinated carboxylic acid used in various industrial applications, including as a surfactant, lubricant, and surface coating agent. Its unique properties, such as chemical stability and hydrophobicity, make it valuable in manufacturing processes requiring resistance to heat, chemicals, and water. However, concerns about its persistence in the environment and potential health risks have led to regulatory restrictions on its use.
