1,1-Difluoroethylene is used in the manufacture of polyvinylidene
fluoride for its use as a thermal, chemical, and
ultraviolet light–resistant agent, and as an anticorrosive agent.
The monofilament form is used as filter cloth in the pulp and
paper industry. Due to its high melting temperature, it can be
used as an insulator. Some of its copolymers are used for their
heat- and moisture-resistant properties, primarily in industrial,
aerospace, and automotive applications.
