Application

Perfluorooctane is widely used as a heat-transfer fluid in high-temperature applications due to its thermal stability. It serves as a dielectric medium in electrical equipment and as a lubricant in extreme conditions. Researchers also employ it as an inert solvent for reactions involving sensitive reagents. Additionally, its hydrophobic and lipophobic properties make it valuable in material science for surface modification studies.
