Widely used as a defoaming agent in industrial processes such as fermentation, wastewater treatment, and chemical manufacturing due to its high efficiency and thermal stability. Commonly added in cosmetics and personal care products like creams and lotions to provide a smooth, non-greasy feel and improve spreadability. Used as a lubricant in medical devices and rubber parts because it is inert and resistant to temperature changes. Employed in the electronics industry as a protective coating or insulating fluid. Also found in household products such as polishes and waxes to enhance surface shine and water repellency.
