Application

2,2,2-Trifluoroethyl Methacrylate is a critical monomer for synthesizing fluorinated acrylic polymers with superior weather resistance and chemical inertness, making it ideal for coatings in aerospace and automotive industries. Its low refractive index and high transparency are exploited in optical adhesives and lenses. The trifluoroethyl group enhances hydrophobicity, useful in anti-fouling marine coatings and microfluidic device fabrication. Researchers also utilize it to modify surface properties of biomaterials for medical implants. Handle under nitrogen to prevent unwanted polymerization.
