Used as a solvent in various industrial applications, particularly in the electronics and semiconductor industries for cleaning and degreasing processes. It is also employed as a reagent in organic synthesis, especially in fluorination reactions, due to its ability to introduce fluorine atoms into molecules. Additionally, it serves as a coating agent in the production of water- and oil-repellent materials, enhancing the performance of textiles and other surfaces. Its chemical stability and low surface tension make it suitable for use in specialized formulations, including lubricants and heat transfer fluids.
