Used primarily as a specialty intermediate in the synthesis of fluorinated polyurethanes and polyureas, this compound contributes to the development of high-performance coatings, adhesives, and elastomers with enhanced thermal stability and chemical resistance. Its trifluoromethyl and nitrile groups improve hydrophobicity and polarity, making it valuable in agrochemical and pharmaceutical research for building bioactive molecules. Due to its isocyanate functionality, it readily reacts with amines and alcohols, enabling incorporation into complex molecular architectures where durability and resistance to degradation are required.
