Used as a crosslinking agent in silicone-based coatings and adhesives, enhancing thermal stability and mechanical strength. Its dual triethoxysilyl groups enable strong bonding to inorganic substrates, making it effective in surface primers for glass, metals, and ceramics. Also utilized in hybrid organic-inorganic materials for optical applications due to its conjugated diketone structure, which can contribute to light absorption and energy transfer properties. Suitable for sol-gel processes where hydrolysis and condensation reactions form robust siloxane networks.
