Used as a surface treatment agent to provide water and oil repellency on various substrates such as glass, metals, and polymers. It forms a durable, hydrophobic, and oleophobic monolayer when applied, making it suitable for protective coatings in optical devices, electronic components, and architectural materials. Commonly employed in anti-stain, anti-fouling, and release coatings due to its low surface energy and strong bonding to surfaces. Also utilized in microelectronics and MEMS fabrication to prevent stiction and improve device reliability.
