TCI P2353 2,2,3,3,3-Pentafluoropropyl Methacrylate is a fluorinated methacrylate monomer whose ester chain carries five fluorine atoms. It is stabilized with TBC (4-tert-butylcatechol) to prevent spontaneous polymerization during storage. In the laboratory, this monomer is used to prepare fluorinated homopolymers and copolymers through radical polymerization, by either conventional or controlled methods. The resulting materials have surface and optical properties that differ from those of ordinary polymethacrylates, which makes the monomer a useful building block in polymer and materials research.
Researchers choose this monomer because the pentafluoropropyl group gives low surface energy, hydrophobic and oleophobic behavior, and a lower refractive index than non-fluorinated methacrylates. The methacrylate group itself polymerizes readily and works with a wide range of comonomers, such as methyl methacrylate or functional acrylates, so polymer properties can be tuned through copolymer composition. The fluorine atoms on the side chain also allow monitoring by ¹⁹F NMR spectroscopy, which helps in kinetic studies and polymer characterization.
For polymer, chemical engineering, and materials science laboratories in Indonesia, this monomer is a good fit for research on water-repellent and stain-resistant coatings and on other functional fluorinated materials. University research groups and industrial R&D teams can use it to study how fluorine content affects surface wettability, optical behavior, and copolymer performance. Because it is supplied as a stabilized TCI reagent, it supports reproducible synthesis work for thesis projects, applied research, and the development of new materials.
- Fluorinated homopolymer synthesis: the reactive methacrylate group polymerizes readily by radical methods, giving fluorinated polymethacrylates with surface properties that differ from conventional polymethacrylates.
- Copolymerization with methyl methacrylate or functional acrylates: the monomer works with many comonomers, so researchers can tune hydrophobicity, oleophobicity, and refractive index by adjusting copolymer composition.
- Controlled radical polymerization studies: the monomer suits both conventional and controlled radical polymerization, which makes it useful for preparing well-defined fluorinated polymer architectures in academic research.
- Water-repellent and stain-resistant coating research: the pentafluoropropyl side chain gives low surface energy and hydrophobic and oleophobic behavior, which are the key properties for protective surface coatings.
- Polymerization kinetics and characterization by ¹⁹F NMR: the five fluorine atoms on the side chain give a clear spectroscopic handle for tracking monomer conversion and characterizing polymer structure.

- Stabilizer: TBC (4-tert-butylcatechol)
Store this monomer in its original, tightly closed container in a cool, dark, well-ventilated place, away from heat sources, direct sunlight, oxidizers, and radical initiators. The TBC stabilizer reduces the risk of spontaneous polymerization, but it does not replace proper storage. Avoid long storage after opening, and follow the storage conditions on the TCI label and Safety Data Sheet. Handle the monomer in a fume hood while wearing chemical-resistant gloves, safety goggles, and a lab coat. Avoid skin and eye contact and do not inhale the vapors. If the inhibitor must be removed before polymerization, use the purified monomer promptly. Dispose of waste in line with local chemical waste regulations.
