Widely used in the production of silicone-based elastomers and sealants due to their ability to undergo crosslinking reactions, especially in room-temperature vulcanizing (RTV) and heat-cured systems. Their reactive vinyl groups enable efficient coupling with silane crosslinkers or hydride-functional silicones in the presence of platinum catalysts, making them ideal for creating flexible, durable, and thermally stable networks. Commonly found in mold-making rubbers, medical devices, encapsulation compounds for electronics, and specialty coatings where transparency, weather resistance, and low toxicity are required. Also used in personal care formulations such as hair conditioners and skin care products to provide smoothness, spreadability, and water repellency. Their low surface tension and compatibility with other silicones allow easy formulation into complex mixtures for industrial and consumer applications.
