Used as a coupling agent in silicone polymer synthesis, enhancing compatibility between organic and inorganic materials. Commonly applied in the production of specialty silicones for coatings, sealants, and adhesives where water resistance and thermal stability are required. Its fluorinated alkyl group imparts improved hydrophobicity and chemical resistance, making it suitable for harsh environment applications. Also utilized in surface modification of fillers and pigments to improve dispersion in silicone matrices. Plays a role in the development of high-performance elastomers with enhanced mechanical and weathering properties.
