Used primarily as a precursor in the synthesis of silicone-based polymers and coatings. It serves as a key intermediate in the production of silicone fluids, resins, and elastomers, which are widely applied in industries such as automotive, construction, and electronics. Its role in creating water-repellent and heat-resistant materials makes it valuable for manufacturing sealants, lubricants, and protective coatings. Additionally, it is utilized in personal care products to enhance texture and stability in formulations like creams and lotions. Its volatility also makes it suitable for use in cleaning agents and degreasers.
