Used as a key component in silicone-based sealants and adhesives due to its flexibility and resistance to temperature extremes. Commonly employed in construction, automotive, and aerospace industries for sealing joints and gaps. Serves as a base polymer in soft lithography for microfluidic device fabrication. Widely used in personal care products like lotions and cosmetics for its smooth texture and moisture barrier properties. Applied in medical devices and implants because of its biocompatibility and low toxicity. Functions as a defoaming agent in industrial processes such as fermentation and wastewater treatment. Used in coatings and release agents for molds and surfaces requiring non-stick properties.
