Used primarily in the production of specialty polymers and copolymers, particularly those with high thermal and chemical resistance. It is a key component in the synthesis of fluorinated elastomers and plastics, which are essential in industries requiring materials that can withstand extreme conditions, such as aerospace, automotive, and chemical processing. Additionally, it serves as a precursor in the manufacture of advanced fluorinated fluids and lubricants, offering superior performance in high-temperature and corrosive environments. Its applications also extend to the electronics industry, where it is used in the production of insulating materials for wires and cables.
