Used primarily as a fluorinated monomer in the synthesis of specialty polymers, this chemical imparts exceptional water and oil repellency to coatings and films. It is incorporated into surface treatments for textiles, paper, and electronic materials to enhance stain resistance and durability. Its low surface energy contributes to non-stick properties, making it valuable in release coatings and anti-fouling applications. Additionally, it is used in high-performance adhesives and sealants where chemical resistance and thermal stability are required. The compound’s reactivity allows it to copolymerize with other acrylic monomers, enabling tailored properties in fluoropolymers for aerospace, automotive, and semiconductor industries.
