Used as a crosslinking agent in silicone-based materials to enhance thermal stability and mechanical strength. Commonly applied in the production of high-performance sealants, adhesives, and coatings where durability under harsh conditions is required. Acts as a coupling agent in composite materials, improving the interface between organic polymers and inorganic surfaces such as glass or metals. Also utilized in sol-gel processes to create hybrid organic-inorganic materials for optical, electronic, or protective coatings. Its dual silyl groups enable efficient network formation, making it valuable in developing porous silica materials and functionalized surfaces for sensors or catalysts.
