OCTAFLUOROCYCLOBUTANE Chemical compatibility with O-rings, rubbers, & plastics

Octafluorocyclobutane is a perfluorinated compound with the formula C4F8. It is a colorless, non-flammable gas used primarily in electronics as a plasma etchant and in refrigeration as a coolant. Due to its chemical inertness and stability, it is also employed in medical and scientific applications. Its high global warming potential makes it a regulated substance under environmental protection protocols. Octafluorocyclobutane is notable for its strong carbon-fluorine bonds, contributing to its non-reactivity and durability in harsh conditions. Proper handling and disposal are essential to mitigate environmental impact.
