Hexafluoropropylene

Hexafluoropropylene is the fluoroalkene with the formula CF3CF=CF2.

It is the perfluorocarbon counterpart to the hydrocarbon propylene.

It is mainly used to produce copolymers with tetrafluoroethylene.

[1] Hexafluoropropylene can be produced by pyrolysis of tetrafluoroethylene:[1][2] It can also be prepared from chlorodifluoromethane, or produced from various chlorofluorocarbons.
