Used as a key component in silicone-based sealants and adhesives due to its flexibility and resistance to temperature extremes. Commonly employed in medical devices such as wound dressings and catheters because of its biocompatibility and low toxicity. Serves as a base polymer in soft lithography for fabricating microfluidic devices. Utilized in cosmetics and skincare products for its smooth texture and moisture barrier properties. Frequently used in lubricants and release agents in industrial molding processes. Also acts as a matrix material in elastomers and rubbers where durability and elasticity are required.
