Used as a surface modifier in the production of silica-based materials, enhancing hydrophobicity and improving compatibility with organic matrices. Commonly applied in coatings, sealants, and adhesives to promote adhesion between inorganic substrates and polymer systems. Also serves as an intermediate in the synthesis of specialty silanes for semiconductor and microelectronics fabrication, where controlled surface functionalization is critical. Its reactivity allows for effective coupling in sol-gel processes, contributing to the stability and performance of hybrid organic-inorganic materials.
