Perfluorododecanoic Acid (CAT: R032767) is a long-chain perfluorinated carboxylic acid composed of a 12-carbon fully fluorinated backbone. Known for its exceptional thermal, chemical, and surfactant stability, PFDoA is used in the synthesis of fluoropolymers, coatings, and specialty surfactants. Due to its persistence in the environment and resistance to degradation, PFDoA is also studied extensively as a model compound in environmental toxicology and bioaccumulation research. It plays a key role in investigations of per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS), particularly regarding their long-term ecological and biological impacts.
