Used as a surface modifier to impart water and oil repellency to various materials. Commonly applied to glass, ceramics, and metals to create hydrophobic coatings, enhancing their resistance to moisture and staining. In textiles, it provides durable water-repellent finishes for outdoor and protective clothing. Also utilized in microelectronics to improve the performance of semiconductor devices by modifying surface properties. Additionally, it serves as a key component in anti-fouling coatings for marine applications, preventing the adhesion of algae and other organisms. Its ability to form strong bonds with substrates makes it valuable in nanotechnology and self-cleaning surface technologies.
