Used as a crosslinking agent in silicone polymer synthesis, enhancing thermal stability and mechanical strength of cured elastomers. It enables efficient hydrosilylation reactions, making it valuable in producing specialty silicones for coatings, adhesives, and high-performance sealants. Its vinyl groups readily react with Si-H functionalities in the presence of platinum catalysts, allowing precise network formation in silicone rubber formulations. Also employed in the development of functional materials for microelectronics and encapsulation due to its controlled reactivity and compatibility with siloxane matrices.
