What is Perfluorohexyloctane?

Plain description, key identifiers and synonyms

Perfluorohexyloctane is a fluoroalkane that is tetradecane in which all of the hydrogen atoms at positions 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, and 6 have been replaced by fluorine atoms. It is an ophthalmic solution used to treat the signs and symptoms of dry eye disease. It has a role as a nonionic surfactant and an ophthalmology drug. It is a fluoroalkane and a fluorohydrocarbon. It derives from a hydride of a tetradecane.
