Used as a coupling agent in silicone-based formulations to improve adhesion between organic and inorganic materials. Enhances the performance of sealants, adhesives, and coatings by promoting cross-linking and increasing flexibility. Commonly added to composites and fillers to improve dispersion and mechanical strength. Also utilized in personal care products for its conditioning properties, providing smoothness and softness to hair and skin. Acts as a compatibilizer in polymer blends and improves the stability of emulsions. Frequently employed in the synthesis of hybrid materials for specialty applications in electronics and medical devices.
