Used as a key intermediate in the synthesis of organosilicon compounds, particularly in the production of specialty silicones for coatings and adhesives. Its reactive dichloro functionality allows for easy incorporation into siloxane polymers, enhancing thermal stability and surface adhesion. Commonly employed in surface modification processes to introduce hydrophobic or oleophobic properties on materials. Also utilized in the development of silane coupling agents that improve the interface between organic and inorganic materials in composite systems.
