Used primarily as a reactive monomer in the synthesis of fluorinated polymers, this compound contributes to the production of specialty coatings and resins with enhanced chemical resistance, thermal stability, and low surface energy. Its unique fluorinated structure makes it suitable for applications requiring water and oil repellency, such as in protective coatings for textiles, electronics, and optical materials. It is also employed in the development of high-performance adhesives and sealants where durability under harsh environments is critical. Due to its reactivity in free-radical polymerization, it is often copolymerized with other vinyl monomers to tailor material properties for industrial and advanced technological applications.
