Fluorointermediates

Fluorointermediates by The Chemours Company

Fluorine is a unique element that, when added to products, can impart:

Chemical and electrical resistance
Thermal stability
Low surface energy
Other useful functionality

Because of its versatile nature, fluorine is an indispensable component for products used across a variety of demanding applications, including:

Refrigerants
Propellants
Expansion agents
Fire suppressants
Precision cleaning
Specialty polymers

As a leader in thermal and specialized solutions, advanced performance materials, The Chemours Company recognized the significant advantage of using fluorinated compounds in agrochemical, life sciences, electronics, specialty polymers, dyes and pigments, and other specialty areas. This sparked the creation of Chemours Fluorointermediates, which is dedicated to offering high-quality fluorinated compounds to address this growing need.
