[Case Study on Cost Reduction in the Laboratory] Reuse of Purified HFIP

Easy operation allows for unattended use! You can easily enhance labor (work hours), safety, and precision!

HFIP (hexafluoroisopropanol) is one of the few solvents that can dissolve many crystalline polymers. HFIP is an expensive solvent, with a price of around 100,000 yen per kilogram. While it is likely possible to purify and reuse HFIP by setting up a glass distillation apparatus yourself, many research and development environments face challenges in doing so. By introducing "Solpure," it is possible to significantly enhance the convenience, safety, and precision of HFIP distillation and purification. **Issues during HFIP distillation and purification:** - Due to its weight, a sturdy fixation is necessary when setting up larger equipment. - Care must be taken with pipes, seals, and grease that come into contact with HFIP vapor. - Although its toxicity is low, it has a strong odor and corrosiveness, making handling difficult. - It easily absorbs water, so a process to remove water is usually required. - Quality checks after purification are necessary. - Distillation and purification of one gallon bottle takes about two days. - High costs are incurred even when disposing of waste. *For more details, please refer to the PDF document or feel free to contact us.*
