...and why
Silicones are a group
of inorganic materials consisting of atoms of silicon (a mineral sand element) and oxygen. Most silicones can be generally recognized by names ending in “-cone” or “-oxane.”
Silicones have an exceptional breadth of chemical and physical properties. They are
highly resistant to high and low temperatures, resist degradation by UV rays, repel water, and exhibit a range of other characteristics. Objects made with silicones or that have silicones applied to them take on these important properties.
do we use
them?
