TRIFLUOROACETIC ACID Chemical compatibility with O-rings, rubbers, & plastics

Trifluoroacetic acid is a colorless, volatile liquid with the chemical formula C2HF3O2, used primarily as a reagent and solvent in various chemical and pharmaceutical applications. It is employed in the synthesis of peptides, proteins, and other organic compounds, providing enhanced reactivity and selectivity to the reactions. Trifluoroacetic acid is also used as a catalyst in certain polymerization processes and as a solvent for high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC). Proper handling and storage of trifluoroacetic acid are essential to maintain its quality and prevent accidents, as it is highly corrosive and can pose health risks if inhaled or ingested. Safety measures, including the use of appropriate protective equipment and adherence to handling protocols, are crucial when working with trifluoroacetic acid. Its versatility and unique properties make trifluoroacetic acid a valuable chemical in numerous chemical and pharmaceutical applications, contributing to the synthesis and analysis of a wide range of compounds.
