Used as a surface modifier in coatings and adhesives to improve water repellency and oil resistance. Provides excellent release properties in pressure-sensitive adhesives and mold applications. Enhances durability and weather resistance in outdoor coatings due to its stable siloxane backbone and fluorinated groups. Commonly applied in optical films, anti-fouling coatings, and low-surface-energy materials. Also utilized in specialty inks and printing plates for improved slip and abrasion resistance.
