Sakakibara, Shunsaku published the artcileBiological activities of fluorinated nonionic surfactants, Recommanded Product: 2-(2,2,2-Trifluoroethoxy)ethanol, the publication is Nagoya Kogyo Gijutsu Shikensho Hokoku (1991), 40(1), 20-8, database is CAplus.
F(C2F4)3CH2O[C2H4O]mH (m = 1-19), F(C2F4)lCH2CH2O[C2H4O]mH (l = 4, 5; m = 9, 10), H(C2F4)lCH2O[C2H4O]mH (l = 2-4; m = 1-10), and F(C2F4)lCONHCH2CH2NH2-n[C2H4OH]n (l = 2, 6; n = 0-2) were tested for their biocidal activities. Several surfactants had high insecticidal activity, especially against adult houseflies and carmine mites. These effective compounds showed low surface tension and high HLB values. Their effectiveness was ascribed to suffocation of insects by covering the insect cuticle. There was no relationship between the types of surfactants and insecticidal activity. Few compounds had low herbicidal and fungicidal activities.
