Crosslinking agent for silicone rubber: Trimethylsilanol has active hydrogen atoms and nucleophilicity, so it can be used as a crosslinking agent for silicone rubber to improve its strength, elasticity, and heat resistance.
1. Catalysts in organic synthesis reactions: In certain organic synthesis reactions, such as olefin carbonylation, trimethylsilanol can act as a catalyst to promote the reaction and increase the yield.
2. Electronic material additives: Trimethylsilanol has excellent dielectric constant and heat resistance, so it can be used as an additive for electronic materials to improve the dielectric constant and thermal stability of materials, thereby enhancing the performance of electronic components.
3. Pharmaceutical synthesis intermediates: In pharmaceutical synthesis, trimethylsilanol can be used as an intermediate to participate in the synthesis of certain drugs1.
4. Coatings and binders: Trimethylsilanol can be used to manufacture chemical resistant coatings and heat-resistant coatings, as well as as as organic silicon solvents and precision binders.
Other industrial uses: In the food industry, trimethylsilanol can be used as an emulsifier, thickener, etc. In the paper industry, it can be used as a lubricant, anti-static agent, etc. In the ink industry, it can be used as a dispersant, stabilizer, etc
