Manta F1332 is a high-performance fluoroalkyl-functional silane, chemically identified as 1H,1H,2H,2H-perfluorooctyltriethoxysilane.


Product Description

Manta F1332 is 1H,1H,2H,2H-perfluorooctyltriethoxysilane (CAS 51851-37-7, ≥98.0% GC purity) used to formulate anti-graffiti, rain-repellent, easy-to-clean and anti-fingerprint coatings on masonry, automotive glass, ceramics and displays. Comparable to Evonik Dynasylan F 8261 and Shin-Etsu KBE-7103, it releases ethanol rather than methanol during moisture curing, suiting manual spraying, indoor work and consumer products.

Manta F1332 is a high-performance fluoroalkyl-functional silane, chemically identified as 1H,1H,2H,2H-perfluorooctyltriethoxysilane. Featuring a highly fluorinated carbon chain, this product is specifically engineered to impart ultimate liquid repellency and drastically reduce surface energy on various inorganic substrates.

Distinguished by its ethoxy reactive groups, Manta F1332 offers a significant environmental and safety advantage over its methoxy-based counterparts. Upon reaction with atmospheric moisture, it liberates ethanol instead of methanol, making it a lower-toxicity, eco-friendly alternative. This makes Manta F1332 the ideal choice for formulations intended for manual spraying, indoor applications, or consumer-facing products.

Once applied, it covalently bonds to the substrate to form a durable, ultra-thin (monomolecular), and breathable protective layer. The treated surface exhibits exceptional hydrophobic and oleophobic (water- and oil-repellent) properties. It effectively prevents the adhesion of water, oils, dirt, and paints, delivering superior “easy-to-clean,” anti-smudge, and anti-graffiti performance without altering the substrate’s optical clarity or original appearance.

Equivalent grade: Evonik Dynasylan® F 8261, Shin-Etsu KBE-7103.

Applications

  1. Architectural Anti-Graffiti & Masonry Protection

The industry-standard active ingredient for formulating premium, invisible anti-graffiti coatings on porous mineral substrates (concrete, natural stone, brickwork).

Creates a highly oleophobic (oil-repellent) barrier that prevents spray paints, permanent markers, and environmental pollutants from penetrating the pores.

  1. Automotive Glass & Rain Repellents

Widely used to formulate high-performance “rain repellent” treatments for automotive windshields and exterior mirrors. Significantly increases the water contact angle, allowing rain to bead up and roll off easily at driving speeds, thereby dramatically improving driver visibility and safety.

Ideal for consumer-grade DIY car care products due to its safer ethanol release during curing.

  1. Easy-to-Clean Sanitary Ceramics & Shower Glass

Provides long-lasting hydrophobic and oleophobic surface modification for shower cabins, sanitary ceramics, and bathroom tiles. Prevents the severe adhesion of limescale, soap scum, and body oils, drastically reducing cleaning frequency and the need for harsh cleaning chemicals.

  1. Optical Lenses & Display Anti-Smudge Coatings

Serves as an excellent ultra-thin (nanoscale) coating for optical lenses, camera covers, and electronic touch screens. Delivers outstanding anti-fingerprint (AF) and anti-smudge properties without compromising optical clarity, light transmittance, or the original tactile feel of the glass.

  1. Sol-Gel Systems & Specialty Formulations

Functions as a highly effective surface energy-reducing additive in alcohol-based or water-based sol-gel coating systems to enhance overall liquid repellency.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why is Manta F1332 preferred for consumer-grade rain repellents and DIY car care?

Its ethoxy groups release ethanol instead of toxic methanol when reacting with moisture, giving a lower-toxicity profile for manual spraying and consumer-facing products. On windshields it raises the water contact angle so rain beads up and rolls off at driving speed.

How does F1332 work as an anti-graffiti treatment on mineral substrates?

It creates a highly oleophobic barrier on porous substrates such as concrete, natural stone and brickwork, preventing spray paints, permanent markers and pollutants from penetrating the pores.

Will an F1332 coating change the appearance of glass or displays?

No. The coating is ultra-thin (monomolecular scale) and does not compromise optical clarity, light transmittance or the original tactile feel of the glass, while still providing anti-fingerprint and anti-smudge performance.

What are the packaging options and storage requirements for F1332?

It is supplied in 20 kg pails, 180 kg drums and 900 kg IBCs. Keep it cool, dry and away from direct sunlight; shelf life is 12 months and it is a non-hazardous substance.
