Pentadecafluorooctanoic acid ammonium salt

Perfluorooctanoate (PFOA) is the dissociated carboxylate anion of perfluorooctanoic acid and its salts. PFOA is a stable, soluble surfactant primarily used in the form of the ammonium salt (APFO) as a processing aid in the production of various fluoropolymers. It is a very active fluorosurfactant with high stability. References: (1) J.L. Butenhoff, et al., Toxicol. Sci. 82, 394 (2004) Appearance: Colorless to white powder or crystals.
