Development of new chromium fog inhibitor

Development of new chromium fog inhibitor

       At present, the development strategies of chromium fog inhibitors instead of PFOS are mainly focused on several aspects: using short carbon chain perfluoroalkyl sulfonate, introducing oxygen heterostructure in perfluoroalkyl carbon chain, and introducing hydrocarbon carbon chain while shortening perfluorocarbon chain.

       3M company has developed perfluoro-n-butyl sulfonate products FC-4430 and fFC-4432 to replace PFOS products as chromium aerosol. However, due to the short carbon chain, the effect and dosage have certain disadvantages.

      TDFS, C6F13 CH2CH2 SO3M, is widely used in European countries. In terms of chromium fog suppression and effective duration, TDFS may have the same or even better advantages as PFOS, while the economic cost is only less than doubled.

      Compared with PFOS, TDFS has significantly lower toxicity and bioaccumulation potential, which can completely replace PFOS.

      In conclusion, low foam surfactants do not require thick foam to cover the entire plating solution, which is more consistent with the development trend than foaming inhibitors. Using biodegradable TDFS type chromium mist inhibitors can alleviate the urgent biological and environmental problems caused by PFOS without changing the existing Cr (VI) process.

The active ingredient of TDFS is Perfluorohexyl Ethyl sulphonic acid (CAS No.27619-97-2)
