Selective Fluorination

Building on 30 years' experience in the generation and use of elemental fluorine, Air Products is a leading global supplier of site-selective fluorination reagents and custom-manufactured fluorinated intermediates to life science and fine chemical industries. Air Products' expertise in large-scale direct-fluorination coupled with individualized R&D allows for efficient and cost-effective commercialization of fluorine-containing molecules.

Air Products is a manufacturer and supplier of:

• Elemental fluorine
• Selectfluor™ - a proprietary F₂-derived electrophilic fluorinating agent
• Deoxo-Fluor™ - a proprietary versatile, easy to use nucleophilic reagent which is a safe and effective replacement for DAST
• Sulfur tetrafluoride, SF₄ - a deoxofluorinating agent particularly useful for the conversion of aldehydes, ketones and carboxylic acids into respective compounds in the presence of HF and other Lewis acid catalysts.

Air Products' scientists and engineers in fluorination work hand-in-hand with customers to develop the proper fluorochemical molecule… providing lab, pilot, semi-commercial or commercial quantities of fluorochemical products. Depending on your substrate, fluorination may be accomplished by either existing or new propriety reagents; or custom fluorination processes that utilize elemental fluorine or sulfur tetrafluoride.
