Silicone


Silicones are organic-inorganic polymers consisting of silicon, carbon, oxygen and hydrogen. Its unique chemical structure results in unique properties which makes them extremely versatile.

FEATURES & BENEFITS

  • Resistance to age, sunlight, moisture and temperature extremes - long service life
  • Chemical resistance - stable
  • Outstanding heat stability - can be used in applications where organic materials would melt or decompose
  • Feature a combination of physical properties not found in other polymers
  • Unique sensory & lubricity
  • Safe and easy to use
