Silicones

Silicones

Silicone resins are hybrid polymers that consist of organic pendant groups attached to an inorganic quartz-like backbone of alternating silicon and oxygen atoms. This unusual polymer structure provides exceptional thermal stability and oxidation resistance. Silicones are essentially transparent to, and therefore resist degradation by, ultraviolet radiation from sunlight.
Applications

• Cosmetics
• Photovoltaic and Solar Panel Materials
• Adhesives and Sealants
• Construction and Renovation
• Bakeware and Cookware
• Paints
• Goggles and Diving Masks

Properties

• Iight weight, flexibility, durability, and water-repellency
• Prevents from cracking during freezing and thawing cycles.
• Due antimicrobial properties, and ease of cleaning ,make silicone great for bakeware and cookware.
• excellent wear and weather resistance
• protect electronics
• Have adhesiveness, environmental stability, mechanical/chemical properties, and transparency.
• biocompatibility, color retention, and ability to spread
