Perfluoro-1,3-dimethylcyclohexane is perfluorinated branched cyclohexane used as a synthesis reagent for amorphous fluorocarbon film preparation by plasma polymerization, and for hydroformylation of linear terminal alkenes. As a chemically inert compound similar in properties to other perfluorocarbons, perfluoro-1,3-dimethylcyclohexane is an ideal tracer for other fluorocarbons as it can be detected at very low concentrations.

Providing storage is as stated on the product vial and the vial is kept tightly sealed, the product can be stored for up to 24 months.
Wherever possible, you should prepare and use solutions on the same day. However, if you need to make up stock solutions in advance, we recommend that you store the solution as aliquots in tightly sealed vials at -20°C. Generally, these will be useable for up to one month. Before use, and prior to opening the vial we recommend that you allow your product to equilibrate to room temperature for at least 1 hour.
