Used primarily as a key intermediate in the production of fluoropolymers and fluoroelastomers, it imparts exceptional chemical resistance, thermal stability, and low surface energy to the final materials. These properties make it valuable in applications such as coatings for industrial equipment, automotive components, and electronics, where durability and performance under harsh conditions are essential. Additionally, it is utilized in the synthesis of specialty surfactants and surface treatment agents, enhancing water and oil repellency in textiles, paper, and other materials. Its role in creating high-performance materials ensures its relevance in advanced manufacturing and technology sectors.
