Perfluorooctane, also known as octadecafluorooctane, is a fluorocarbon liquid—a perfluorinated derivative of the hydrocarbon octane. Under the name PF5080 (or FC77) it is sold by 3M as part of their Fluorinert range of heat transfer fluids.[2] It can be a good substitute for insulating oil in high voltage electronics. In addition to heat transfer applications, it has also been used as a breathable fluid in partial liquid ventilation.[3]
