Used primarily as a synthetic lubricant and in specialty fluids due to its excellent thermal stability and resistance to chemical degradation. Commonly found in high-performance greases and oils for aerospace and automotive applications where extreme temperatures and harsh environments are present. Also utilized in the formulation of coatings and sealants that require low surface energy and water repellency. Its inert nature makes it suitable for use in electrical insulation and as a component in gaseous dielectrics for high-voltage equipment. Frequently applied in precision instruments and vacuum systems because it does not outgas significantly and maintains performance under low pressure.
