Used in the formulation of specialty coatings and polymers requiring high water and oil repellency. Commonly applied in optical films, anti-fouling coatings, and low surface energy materials. Enhances chemical resistance and thermal stability in polymer systems. Frequently incorporated into fluoroacrylate copolymers for use in electronics, aerospace, and medical device coatings where durability and repellency are critical. Also utilized in lithography and as a surface modifier in advanced manufacturing processes.
