Used as a reactive intermediate in the synthesis of silicone polymers, particularly in the production of functional silicones for coatings, adhesives, and sealants. Its vinyl group enables cross-linking in platinum-catalyzed curing systems, making it valuable in high-performance silicone elastomers and resins. Commonly employed in formulations requiring thermal stability, low surface tension, and controlled release properties. Also utilized in specialty applications such as release coatings, personal care products, and surface modifiers where tailored hydrophobicity and reactivity are needed.
