Hello. We are currently engaged in research regarding the gas-phase epoxidation of Hexafluoropropylene with molecular oxygen. Our research partner is the Nuclear Energy Corporation of South Africa. We are interested to know what type of process is used by your company to produce HFPO. We dont expect you to disclose proprietary information, but a general indication would be much appreciated (e.g. is it accomplished using a organic peroxide in the liquid phase or hydrogen peroxide or oxygen in an inert solvent?) Your response will be greatly appreciated. A response via email would be preferred.
Thank you
