Generation of perfluoroisobutylene reference sample and determination by gas chromatography with electron capture and flame ionization detection

Flash pyrolysis of polytetrafluoroethylene (teflon) in a quartz assembly

“…tetrafluoethylene, perfluorocyclobutane, hexafluoropropene, polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE, teflon) and sodium or potassium salts of n-perfluorovaleric acid are important techniques for obtaining volatile fluorocarbons [1][2][3][4][5][6]. Safe collection, storage and analysis of these fluorinated volatiles have always been a problem.…”
