Perfluoroalkyl-substituted amines, acids, amino acids and thioether acid
compounds containing a perfluoroalkyl-iodoalkyl or perfluoroalkyl-alkene
group as well as derivatives thereof, are described. They are useful as
surfactants in a variety of applications where low surface tensions are
required, including coating formulations for glass, wood, metal, cement,
paper, textiles, as foam control agents in polyurethane foams and
especially in aqueous fire-fighting formulations.
