Purity Grade customized
Formula C3F8
Application
In the electronics industry, octafluoropropane is mixed with oxygen and used as a plasma etching material for SiO2 layers in semiconductor applications, as oxides are selectively etched versus their metal substrates.
In medicine, octafluoropropane may compose the gas cores of microbubble contrast agents used in contrast-enhanced ultrasound.
Under the name R-218, octafluoropropane is used in other industries as a component of refrigeration mixtures.
