The United States and Germany are the leading exporters of PERFLUOROPROPANE (CAS 76-19-7), accounting for the largest shares of global shipments in recent years, while China, South Korea, and Japan represent the top importing markets. PERFLUOROPROPANE prices have remained relatively stable amid steady demand from semiconductor manufacturing and medical imaging sectors. Exports from the U.S. have grown modestly since 2022, while German export volumes have held steady, and Asian import demand—particularly from South Korea—has shown consistent year-on-year expansion.
Perfluoropropane (C₃F₈) is a colorless, odorless, nonflammable gas at ambient temperature and pressure, with a boiling point of −36.7 °C and a melting point of −183.6 °C. It is a fully fluorinated aliphatic hydrocarbon—specifically, a perfluorocarbon—and exhibits high thermal and chemical stability. Perfluoropropane is primarily used as a specialty etchant gas in semiconductor manufacturing, particularly in plasma-enhanced chemical vapor deposition (PECVD) and reactive ion etching (RIE) processes. It also serves as a component in medical ultrasound contrast agents and as a dielectric gas in high-voltage equipment. Its applications are concentrated in electronics, healthcare diagnostics, and electrical insulation technologies.
