1. What is silicone?


Silicone refers to a compound whose main chain is composed of silicon-oxygen links, and whose side chains are connected by silicon atoms and various other organic groups.


Therefore, the structure of silicone products contains both "organic groups" and "inorganic structures". This special composition and molecular structure makes it combine the characteristics of organic matter with the functions of inorganic matter. It has many excellent properties such as high and low temperature resistance, weather aging resistance, electrical insulation, ozone resistance, hydrophobicity, flame retardancy, non-toxic and non-corrosive, and physiological inertness. Some varieties also have oil resistance, solvent resistance, and radiation resistance. Compared with other polymer materials, the most outstanding properties of silicone products are excellent temperature resistance, dielectric properties, weather resistance, physiological inertness, and low surface tension.
