Abstract: Perfluoroalkyl-substituted amines, acids, amino acids and thioether acid compounds containing a perfluoroalkyl-iodoalkyl or perfluoroalkyl-alkene group as well as derivatives thereof, are described. They are useful as surfactants in a variety of applications where low surface tensions are required, including coating formulations for glass, wood, metal, cement, paper, textiles, as foam control agents in polyurethane foams and especially in aqueous fire-fighting formulations.

Abstract: Novel perfluoroalkyl-substituted mono-, di- and poly-amide compounds which are reaction products of a mono-, di- or polyamine of 60 to 2000 molecular weight with a perfluoroalkyl substituted unsaturated acid or its corresponding lower alkyl ester and optionally a non-fluorinated amino-reactive compound such as an acid, ester, anhydride, epichlorohydrin, isocyanate or urea, are useful as internally or externally applied paper sizes to impart oil and grease resistance to paper, and as oil proofing coatings on textiles, wood, masonry and the like, or as high-performance surface active agents.

Abstract: N-substituted perfluoroalkylated pyrrolidines of the formula III where RF, B, Q and q are as defined herein are prepared from diallylamine, a perfluoroalkyl iodide and an amino-reactive compound selected from the group of carboxylic acids, anhydrides, acid chlorides, oxiranes, haloalkanes, isocyanates, ureas and (meth)acrylic compounds. These compounds are useful as specialty surfactants and as oil-proofing agents for paper and textiles. Polymers derived from the (meth)acrylamides are useful to impart water, oil and grease repellency to various substrates.

Abstract: The invention concerns a process for the reaction of a perfluoroalkyl iodide of the formula CF3(CF2)h—I, where h is an integer from 4 to 18, with a compound having a terminal olefinic group, which comprises conducting said reaction in an aqueous medium containing 5 to 40% by weight of a water-soluble solvent and in the presence of from 0.02 to 0.5 equivalents of dithionite ion, based on the perfluoroalkyl iodide, at a temperature of from 0 to 40° C. and at a pH greater than 7.0.

Abstract: Perfluoroalkyl-allyloxy- and perfluoroalkyl-iodopropyloxy-substituted polyaminoacids or poly-R.sub.F -fluoroallyl-substituted polyaminoacids which contain, in random distribution, q units of A-1, r units of A-2, s units of A-3 and t units of A-4 in which A-1 and A-2 are perfluoroalkyl-substituted amino groups of the formulae ##STR1## A-3 is a hydrophilically substituted amino or amido group of the formula ##STR2## and A-4 is a substituted amino or amido group of the formula ##STR3## where the variables are as defined herein, are useful to provide oil repellency to paper and as foam stabilizers in alcohol resistant--aqueous fire-fighting foam fire-fighting foam compositions.

Abstract: Bisperfluoroalkyl-substituted diols containing sulfide, sulfone or polysulfide linkages and a method for making them are described. These diols can react with isocyanates to form urethanes; diisocyanates to form polyturethanes; chloroformates to form carbonates; with carboxylic, sulfuric or phosphoric acids or derivatives to form carboxylate esters, sulfate esters, phosphate esters respectively. These diol compounds and their derivatives are useful for imparting oil and water repellency to substrates such as glass, wood, paper, leather, wool, cotton, polyester and other substrates.

Abstract: Di-, tri- and poly-perfluoroalkyl-substituted alcohols and acids and derivatives thereof are described which are prepared from perfluoroalkyl iodides and di-, tri- or polyallyl alcohols or acids. These compounds contain two or more perfluoroalkyl-iodoalkyl or perfluoroalkyl-alkenyl groups and one or two alcohol or acid groups or derivatized alcohol or acid functions. They can be reacted with isocyanates, epoxy compounds, anhydrides, acids or acid derivatives to prepare a great variety of oil- and water-repellent compositions which are useful for oil- and water-repellent treatment of textiles, glass, paper, leather and other substrates.
