Used primarily as a fluorinated monomer in specialty polymer formulations, this compound imparts exceptional water and oil repellency, making it valuable in coatings for textiles, paper, and electronic materials. Its fluorinated tail enhances surface durability and chemical resistance, commonly applied in anti-stain, anti-fouling, and release coatings. It is also utilized in the synthesis of hydrophobic and oleophobic polymers for medical devices and optical films. Due to its reactive methacrylate group, it readily copolymerizes with other acrylic monomers, enabling integration into UV-curable systems and functional thin films.
