Potassium Perfluorooctane Sulfonate Powder

Pure potassium perfluorooctane sulfonate (PFOS-K) in powdered form, a fluorinated surfactant used in industrial applications. Classified under HTS 2904.34.00.00 as a sulfonated, halogenated derivative of hydrocarbons, specifically the potassium salt of perfluorooctane sulfonic acid. Meets chapter 29 requirements for chemically defined organic compounds with sulfonated and halogenated functions.

PFOS Potassium Salt Technical Grade 98%

Technical grade potassium perfluorooctane sulfonate with 98% purity, used in manufacturing fire-fighting foams and coatings. Falls under HTS 2904.34.00.00 due to its specific chemical identity as a perfluorooctane sulfonate salt. Exclusively covers chemically defined sulfonated/halogenated hydrocarbons per Chapter 29 notes.

Perfluorooctane Sulfonate Potassium Flake Form

Flake-form potassium perfluorooctane sulfonate for easy handling in chemical synthesis. Precisely matches HTS 2904.34.00.00 as the potassium salt of PFOS, a halogenated sulfonated hydrocarbon derivative. Chapter notes confirm classification for pure compounds regardless of physical form.

High Purity PFOS-K for Research Use

Ultra-high purity (>99.5%) potassium perfluorooctane sulfonate for laboratory and research applications. Classified under HTS 2904.34.00.00 as it is a separate chemically defined compound per Chapter 29 note (a). Physical form (powder, crystal) does not affect heading.
