Applications of Perflubron (CAS: 423-55-2)

 

1. Pharmaceutical Industry (Core Applications)

  1. Artificial blood / Blood substitutes

     

    With excellent oxygen dissolving and carrying capacity, it can temporarily replace blood to supply oxygen for the body. It is applied in emergency treatment, adjuvant therapy for intraoperative blood loss and perfusion for isolated organ preservation, alleviating the shortage of traditional blood sources.

     
  2. Pulmonary drug delivery / Inhalation preparations

     

    It serves as a liquid ventilation medium and atomization carrier for acute respiratory distress syndrome, lung injury, airway diseases and other conditions, improving pulmonary gas exchange and assisting respiratory treatment.

     
  3. Ophthalmic medications and diagnosis & treatment

     

    Used in fundus surgery, vitreous replacement and intraocular irrigation. It is also formulated into external preparations for eye lubrication and tissue repair, featuring high biological inertness and minimal irritation to ocular tissues.

     
  4. Laser medical aesthetics & Dermatology

     

    Acts as a cooling medium and tissue isolator during laser procedures to reduce thermal damage caused by laser. It is also applied in external preparations for wound protection and skin repair.

     
  5. Topical pharmaceutical preparations

     

    Used as pharmaceutical excipient, solvent and penetration enhancer in external ointments and sprays for skin, with effects of bacteriostasis, isolation and penetration promotion.

     
 

2. Industrial & Specialized Fields

  1. Electronics and Semiconductors

     

    Thanks to superior electrical insulation, chemical stability and low volatility, it is used as cooling fluid, leak detection fluid and insulating cleaning agent for precision electronic components.

     
  2. Special testing media

     

    Applied as a standard medium for testing gas solubility (especially oxygen), as well as for air tightness testing and non-destructive testing.

     
  3. Laboratory biological reagents

     

    Used in cell culture, oxygen supply system for isolated tissues, and serves as an inert solvent and isolation liquid in biochemical analysis.

     
  4. Fire protection & flame retardancy

     

    Non-flammable and thermally stable, it can be formulated into special fire extinguishing agents and flame retardant additives.

     
 

3. Other Extended Applications

  • Raw material for high-end fluorinated emulsions and special fluorosurfactants.
  • Heat dissipation and anti-corrosion medium for miniature precision equipment in aerospace industry.
