Used in the synthesis of specialty polymers and coatings due to its high reactivity and ability to enhance thermal and chemical resistance. Commonly employed in developing advanced materials for electronics, such as photoresists and dielectric layers, where stability under harsh conditions is required. Also utilized in pharmaceutical research as a fluorinated building block to modify drug molecules for improved metabolic stability and bioavailability. Its unique fluorinated structure makes it valuable in surface modification, providing low surface energy and water-repellent properties in protective films and functional textiles.
