Used as a crosslinker in silicone curing systems, especially in addition-cure silicones for encapsulation and molding. Provides improved thermal stability and low compression set in cured elastomers. Commonly applied in soft lithography and microfabrication due to its controlled curing and flexibility. Also used in pressure-sensitive adhesives and release coatings where tunable surface energy is required. Its hydrosilylation reactivity allows for precise network formation in specialty coatings and sealants.
