Perfluoroisobutyronitrile, also known by its molecular formula C4F7N, has gradually found its place in high-voltage electrical insulation and as an alternative to SF6 due to lower global warming potential. The chemical structure includes a highly fluorinated carbon chain attached to a nitrile group, offering impressive dielectric properties. With a specific density of about 1.6 g/cm³, it stands up well where electrical and thermal stability matter most.
This raw material appears as a colorless gas at room temperature. It holds HS Code 292690 and comes with a set of files for safe management: the material safety data sheet (MSDS) and technical data sheet (TDS) are essential before any industrial use. Detailed investigation under ISO and SGS standards assures batch consistency, monitored density, and analysis of traces. Purchasers request these reports using sample lots to check purity and performance, as seen across Chinese manufacturers now exporting at steady CIF and FOB quotes.
Manufacturers in China have scaled up their facilities, giving global buyers options with competitive factory price for bulk orders and flexible MOQ (minimum order quantity) policies. Inquiries about price, available inventory, and sample options shape negotiation. The move to local China supply chains reduces both delivery time and cost per liter. Larger chemical companies follow REACH registration for the European market and make certificates like OEM documentation, Halal, and Kosher available on request to meet international standards.
Like many fluorinated compounds, perfluoroisobutyronitrile comes with its own set of hazards. Direct contact may cause health problems if not handled with suitable PPE. Shipping and storage need certified containers and rigorous labeling to meet current news and policy changes on raw material safety. Inside factories, teams check TDS documents, supervise air quality, and follow SOPs to keep material safe.
Buyers, especially in the power sector, look for high dielectric strength and eco-friendlier alternatives for insulation materials. Requesting a quote involves specifying use, preferred solution concentration (often delivered as a liter solution), and packaging format. Exporters streamline documentation, provide free samples on request, and adjust volumes depending on the project’s MOQ. Markets in Europe and North America often demand proof of REACH and CE conformity, and purchase orders need this paperwork in advance.
Manufacturers keep responding to shifting regulations about greenhouse gas materials and harmful raw materials. Certifications matter: ISO, SGS, Halal, Kosher, and more add confidence for buyers managing complex supply chains. Strong demand over the last year suggests further investment in cleaner chemical processes and better solutions documentation, all anchored in the drive for responsible use in high-stakes industrial work.
