Used as a surface modifying agent in silicone-based coatings and sealants to improve adhesion and durability. Enhances compatibility between organic and inorganic materials in hybrid composites. Frequently employed in the formulation of water-repellent coatings for glass, ceramics, and metals due to its silane functionality. Also serves as a coupling agent in dental resins and optical materials, where it helps bond organic polymers to silica fillers, improving mechanical strength and stability. Shows utility in specialty adhesives and primers where moisture resistance and long-term performance are critical.
