Perfluoropolyether (PFPE) belongs to the family of fluorinatedsynthetic fluids. PFPE are low-molecular-weight, partially fluorinated, oxetaneoligomeric polyols that are non-toxic, non-flammable, and resistant tochemicals. They are used in extreme temperatures varying from −80°C to 200°C. PFPE are polymeric species having repeated per fluorinatedmethyl-, and ethyl- or isopropyl ether units. They have a variety ofapplication-specific end groups. Depending on the application, their molecularstructure varies from linear, branched, to a combination of both. They aresynthesized by photo-initiated oxidative polymerization. There exist fourdifferent kinds of PFPE fluids viz. PFPE-K, PFPE-M, PFPE-Y, and PFPE-Z. AllPFPE fluids contain oxygen, carbon, and fluorine atoms. However, each type offluid is a product of different starting materials and manufacturing processes.These structural differences affect the temperature resistivity, ability toprevent wear, lubricity, and volatility of the fluid.
Based onthe end-user application, the market for PFPE has been segmented intoautomotive, electronics, aerospace, and coatings. Demand for non-toxic,non-flammable, corrosion-resistant specifications of lubricants, growth in theautomotive industry, increasing defense budgets, and growing technology in theaerospace industry are the factors driving the PFPE market. PFPE is usedsignificantly in the aerospace industry as instrument-bearing grease,joint-bearing grease in aircraft fuel systems and astronaut spacesuit bearings.Additionally, it is used extensively for coating the surfaces of tiles, stones,ceramics, and glass for imparting the properties such as oil and waterrepellency and low adhesion and friction.

PFPE isalso employed in the electronics industry, as it is used as a vacuum grease insemiconductor processing and as a top-coating lubricant in CD drives. In theautomotive industry it is utilized for coating in advanced braking system (ABS)and as a grease between gears. However, lack of literature and R&D,diminishing market for CD drives, and emission of fumes from the PFPE fluidupon contact with high temperatures are the factors likely to hamper the marketfor PFPE. Opportunities to bridge the gap by providing literature regardingenvironmental aspects of PFPE fluids exist for the companies.
In termsof region, the globalperfluoropolyether market has been segmented into Asia Pacific, MiddleEast & Africa, Europe, North America, and Latin America. The aerospaceindustry in North America is projected to hold a dominant share of the marketfor PFPE during the forecast period. The market in North America is anticipatedto expand during the forecast period, due to the large-sized aerospace industryin the U.S., and its high defense budgets,. The PFPE market in Europe is alsoanticipated to witness growth due to extensive research and developmentactivities in the aerospace industry in France and Germany.
