Used as a surface treatment agent to provide water and oil repellency on various substrates such as glass, metals, and polymers. Commonly applied in coatings and sealants to enhance durability and resistance to environmental factors. Frequently utilized in the manufacturing of water-repellent textiles and anti-stain finishes. Also employed in microelectronics and MEMS devices to reduce stiction by modifying surface energy. Effective in creating low-energy surfaces for release coatings and in laboratory settings for chromatographic column modification.
