Used primarily in the production of silicone polymers, this chemical serves as a key intermediate in manufacturing silicones for sealants, adhesives, lubricants, and waterproofing agents. It reacts with water to form siloxane bonds, enabling the creation of various silicone-based materials used in construction, automotive, electronics, and personal care products. Its ability to modify surface properties makes it valuable in coatings and release agents. Additionally, it is employed in the synthesis of silane coupling agents that improve adhesion between organic and inorganic materials.
