Used primarily in the production of specialty polymers and coatings, this chemical imparts unique properties such as chemical resistance, low surface energy, and thermal stability. It is commonly applied in the formulation of advanced materials for use in harsh environments, including industrial coatings, adhesives, and sealants. Additionally, it is utilized in the development of optical fibers and electronic components due to its excellent transparency and dielectric properties. Its fluorinated structure also makes it suitable for creating water- and oil-repellent surfaces, which are valuable in textiles and protective coatings.
