Abstract

The present invention provides a process for oligomerization of hexafluoropropylene oxide, the process comprising polymerizing a mixture of hexafluoropropylene oxide and hexafluoropropene in the presence of an aprotic organic solvent using KF as a catalyst.

Description

[0001] Cross References to Related Patent Applications [0002] This patent application claims priority from European Patent Application No. 05101610.3, filed March 2, 2005, which is hereby incorporated by reference in its entirety. technical field [0003] This invention relates to the polymerization of hexafluoropropylene oxide (HFPO). In particular, the present invention relates to a process for the polymerization of HFPO that produces a desired degree of polymerization and a small amount of low molecular weight HFPO oligomers. Background technique [0004] Polymerization or oligomerization of HFPO results in perfluoropolyethers that find use in a variety of applications. For example, the resulting perfluoropolyethers can be used in the manufacture of surfactants, or in the preparation of fluorochemicals suitable for treating a variety of substrates to render them oil and / or water repellent. Generally, relatively low degrees of polymerization, i.e. oligomers of HFPO, ar...
