3M Fluorinert FC-4400 is a high purity ionic liquid antistatic additive specifically designed for high performance polymer systems. Chemically known as tri-n-butylmethylammonium bis-(trifluoromethanesulfonyl)imide, this optically clear antistat features low metal and halogen ion content, making it ideal for electronics, display, and semiconductor applications. Its outstanding thermal stability (decomposition temperature of 340°C by TGA), low water content, and negligible volatility enable melt processing with high melting engineering resins including thermoplastics and thermosets.
FC-4400 provides stable antistatic performance across a wide humidity range, delivering surface resistivities of 10⁹ to 10¹² ohms/sq in polymer formulations. It is colorless and highly soluble in organic media, making it ideal for applications where optical clarity is critical. With a melting point of 27.5°C and a wide liquid range, FC-4400 simplifies material handling in production. Its hydrophobic nature and negligible vapor pressure at elevated temperatures ensure ease of manufacturing and safety during melt processing.
