  • Superb Electrical Insulation: Ideal for manufacturing high-performance electrical insulation components.
  • High Glass Transition Temperature: Maintains rubbery elasticity at elevated temperatures.
Primary Applications

Bisphenol AF serves as a critical monomer or cross-linking agent for specialty polymers:

  • Cross-linker for Fluoroelastomers: Essential for peroxide-curable fluoroelastomers used in automotive engine seals, aerospace sealing systems, and chemical processing equipment linings.
  • Monomer for Fluorinated Polyimides: Used to produce high-performance fluorinated polyimides for flexible printed circuit boards and inter-layer dielectric films in large-scale integrated circuits.
  • Other Specialty Polymers: Employed in synthesizing fluorinated resins, coatings, and plastics designed for extreme environments.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is BPAF?

BPAF is a special chemical containing fluorine atoms, making it more heat and chemical resistant than similar materials.

Where is BPAF used?
  • Car engine seals
  • Aircraft parts
  • Electronics (circuit boards)
  • Chemical equipment
Is BPAF safe?

Primarily used in industrial products, not consumer goods. Workers should avoid direct contact as it requires professional handling.

How is BPAF different from BPA?

BPAF contains fluorine, making it more durable than BPA, but both require careful handling.

Can consumers contact BPAF?

No, it's exclusively used in industrial manufacturing and not found in everyday products.
