(3,3,3-Trifluoropropyl)trimethoxysilane is used in the manufacture of defoaming agents, releasing agents, fluoro silicone resin and coating. It is used as a coupling agent for epoxy resin.
Trimethoxy(3,3,3-trifluoropropyl)silane is commonly used in the synthesis of a variety of silsesquioxane based polymers. It is a precursor in the synthesis of macroporous gels for separation of oil and water. It can also be used in the synthesis of hydrophobic silica aerogel for the removal of uranium from aqueous solutions.
