Used as a high-performance silicone resin in coatings and encapsulants due to its excellent thermal stability and UV resistance. Commonly applied in optical fibers, LED encapsulation, and electronic potting materials where durability and clarity are critical. Its flexible structure provides good adhesion and stress relief in microelectronics. Also utilized in specialty sealants and gaskets exposed to extreme temperatures or harsh environments. Shows favorable compatibility with organic and inorganic materials, making it suitable for hybrid material systems. Frequently modified for use in gas permeable membranes and medical devices requiring biocompatibility and low surface energy.
