CyclaSolv® PFC180: High-Purity Solvent for CyclAFlor® Processing

CyclaSolv PFC180 is a premium perfluorinated solvent developed specifically for CyclAFlor amorphous fluoropolymers. Engineered for stability and purity, PFC180 provides excellent solubility for precision film casting, uniform coatings, and advanced surface treatments.

With exceptional chemical inertness, PFC180 ensures reliable performance across demanding processing environments. By matching CyclaSolv solvents to CyclAFlor polymers, we make it possible to achieve thin, defect-free coatings with consistent reproducibility.

Use CyclaSolv PFC180 to make CyclAFlor solutions (from neat polymer) or to change the concentration of our standard solutions.

  • Boiling point – 1800C
  • Average molecular weight – 670
  • Refractive index – 1.29

Use these formulas to compute the density and vapor pressure of CyclaSolv-PFC180:

  • density (kg/m3) = 1913 – 2.18 (T, 0C)
  • Log10 (vapor pressure (pascals)) = 10.511 – (2453/(T, K))
