Hexafluoropropylene

Hexafluoropropylene is a synthetic alkene with the formula C3F6. It is the perfluorocarbon counterpart to the hydrocarbon propylene. Hexafluoropropylene is used as a chemical intermediate. It is often used a copolymer in fluoroplastics such as fluorinated ethylene propylene. Hexafluoropropylene can be produced by pyrolysis of tetrafluoroethylene or chlorodifluoromethane, or produced from various chlorofluorocarbons. This gas can also be produced as an effluent from the decomposition of polytetrafluoroethylene when laser cutting it.
