Perfluorodecyltriethoxysilane F1732 is fluoroalkylsilane surface modifier. Unlike Manta F1732 is a high-performance fluoroalkylsilane surface modifier.


Product Description

Manta F1732 is 1H,1H,2H,2H-perfluorodecyltriethoxysilane (CAS 101947-16-4, ≥98.0% GC purity) used for anti-fingerprint, easy-to-clean and water/oil-repellent coatings on electronics glass, stone, automotive glass, metals and textiles. Comparable to Shin-Etsu KBE-7803, it delivers a water contact angle above 110° and surface energy below 15 dynes/cm while releasing ethanol, not methanol, on hydrolysis.

Perfluorodecyltriethoxysilane F1732 is fluoroalkylsilane surface modifier. Unlike Manta F1732 is a high-performance fluoroalkylsilane surface modifier, chemically identified as 1H,1H,2H,2H-perfluorodecyltriethoxysilane. Unlike standard silicones, it provides both superhydrophobicity (water contact angle > 110°) and superior oleophobicity (oil repellency).

Distinguished by its ethoxy reactive groups, F1732 offers a significant safety and environmental advantage: it releases ethanol upon hydrolysis rather than toxic methanol. This makes it the premier, lower-toxicity choice for consumer-facing applications. It covalently bonds to substrates, forming a nanometer-thin, invisible barrier that offers:

  • Excellent Easy-to-Clean (ETC) and Anti-Fingerprint (AF) properties.
  • Ultra-low surface energy (< 15 dynes/cm).
  • Outstanding chemical and UV resistance.
  • Strong chemical bonding to glass, ceramics, and metal oxide surfaces.

Equivalent grade: Shin-Etsu KBE-7803.

Applications

  1. Consumer Electronics (AF Coating):

Used as an anti-fingerprint and easy-to-clean coating for smartphone screens, camera lenses, and AR/VR glasses. Reduces smudge adhesion and improves touch smoothness.

  1. Building Protection:

Premium penetrating sealer for natural stone, marble, and concrete. Repels water, oil, and grease stains without altering the substrate’s appearance or breathability.

  1. Automotive Glass & Paint:

Creates a long-lasting hydrophobic layer on windshields (rain repellent) and protects car paint from bird droppings and oily road grime.

  1. Metal Surface Treatment:

Anti-oxidation and anti-corrosion coating for aluminum, copper, and stainless steel. Makes surfaces resistant to fingerprints and easy to maintain.

  1. Functional Textiles:

Provides durable water and oil repellency (DWR) to outdoor fabrics, preventing stains from rain, food, and oils.

  1. Specialty Glass & Ceramics:

Self-cleaning treatment for solar panels, shower glass, and sanitary ware, preventing soap scum and mineral deposits.

Application Areas

Paints & Coatings Concrete, Masonry & Stone Protection Textile, Leather & Paper Finishing

Packaging & Handling

Packaging

In 1kg fluorinated bottle, 25kg pail, 200kg drum.

 

Safety and Storage

Hydrolysis Reaction & Ethanol Release: Manta F1732 is highly reactive with moisture. Upon contact with atmospheric humidity or water, it hydrolyzes and releases ethanol. Ensure adequate local exhaust ventilation during application and formulation to prevent the accumulation of ethanol vapors.

Storage Conditions: Store in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated area strictly away from open flames, heat sources, and moisture. Keep containers hermetically sealed at all times.

Shelf Life: 9 months from the date of manufacture when stored properly in original, unopened containers. It is shipped as non-hazardous substance.

Frequently Asked Questions

What repellency performance can a Manta F1732 coating achieve?

Treated surfaces reach a water contact angle above 110° with ultra-low surface energy below 15 dynes/cm, combining superhydrophobicity with oleophobicity plus chemical and UV resistance.

How do I choose between F1732 and Manta F1731?

Both are C10 perfluorodecyl silanes, but F1732 carries ethoxy groups that release ethanol rather than toxic methanol on hydrolysis, making it the lower-toxicity choice for consumer-facing applications. F1731 is the methoxy counterpart, comparable to KBM-7803, while F1732 is comparable to KBE-7803.

Which substrates does F1732 bond to?

It bonds chemically to glass, ceramics and metal oxide surfaces, and is used on aluminum, copper and stainless steel as an anti-oxidation, anti-corrosion and anti-fingerprint treatment, as well as on natural stone, concrete and outdoor textiles.

What ventilation and storage precautions apply when handling F1732?

It is highly moisture-reactive and releases ethanol on contact with humidity, so provide local exhaust ventilation during application and formulation. Store hermetically sealed in a cool, dry, ventilated area away from flames, heat and moisture; shelf life is 9 months in unopened containers.
