Kstone is a participating compiling unit of the standard 【Technical Specification for Perfluoroisobutyronitrile (PFIB) Mixed Gas Refilling Equipment (T-CEC 1092-2025)】
C₄F₇N (Perfluoroisobutyronitrile/PFIB): Key Info for Industrial Applications
C₄F₇N (Heptafluoroisobutyronitrile, commonly abbreviated as PFIB) is an environmentally friendly insulating and arc-quenching gas, widely recognized as a high-performance alternative to SF₆ in power equipment.
Core Features
Eco-friendly: GWP (Global Warming Potential) ~2,090, far lower than SF₆ (GWP ~23,500), compliant with international carbon neutrality policies and F-Gas regulations.
Technical Performance: Dielectric strength ~1.2x that of SF₆, with arc-quenching capability comparable to SF₆, meeting high-voltage equipment requirements.
Physical Properties: Colorless, odorless, chemically stable, and non-toxic under normal conditions (ventilation required at high concentrations).
Practical Use: Typically mixed with CO₂/O₂ (e.g., 3.5% C₄F₇N + 96.5% CO₂) to lower boiling point (-40℃ below), suitable for outdoor low-temperature scenarios.
Main Applications
Primary use: Replaces SF₆ in high-voltage equipment (GIS, GIL, circuit breakers, ring main units) for power industry environmental upgrades.
Secondary markets: Gas detection (leakage, purity, moisture analysis), semiconductor etching, and specialty fire suppression.
Business Relevance
Aligned with CEC (T-CEC 1092-2025) and IEC 62897 standards. Drives demand for compatible gas analyzers, leakage detectors, and separation/purification equipment—key growth areas for SF₆ alternative gas solutions.
Kstone has independently R&D and manufactured a full range of C₄F₇N-related products, including leak detectors, mixture ratio testers, gas mixing equipment, and recovery & separation systems.
