This chemical is widely used as a surface treatment agent to impart hydrophobic and oleophobic properties to various materials. It is particularly effective in modifying surfaces of glass, ceramics, and metals, making them resistant to water, oil, and dirt. In the electronics industry, it is applied to protect sensitive components from moisture and contamination, enhancing their durability and performance. Additionally, it is used in the production of self-cleaning coatings for optical lenses, solar panels, and building materials, reducing maintenance requirements. Its ability to create low-surface-energy coatings also makes it valuable in microfluidics and nanotechnology applications, where precise control over surface properties is essential.
