The Wonderful Invention Of Silicone Rubber
After pioneering work into the developed silicon or the organosilicons
, Professor Frederick Stanley Kipping, who was a chemist, gave the world the term silicone.
His research formed the basis for the worldwide development of the synthetic rubber and and silicone based lubricant industries.
Inert in nature with a wide range of forms and uses, silicones are man made and typically resistant to heat, and resembles rubber in texture.
You can combine silicone with carbon, hydrogen, oxygen and other chemical elements to form polymers. Examples are silicone oil, silicone grease, silicone rubber and silicone resin.
Products made from silicone are non sticky and widely used in common goods such as cookware, medical applications, adhesives and lubricants.
They are also used for insulation, breast implants, sealants, tubing and many other products.
There are many useful properties that make silicone unique and useful. It has fantastic electrical insulation - silicone rubber is used for a large range of electrical applications.
Silicone rubber also has a huge temperature range - silicone withstands anything to -100 to 250 degrees Celsius, making it incredibly useful for thermal stability.
The material is water repellant - apart from insulating electricity, it can also be used to form water tight seals in spite of not being a hydrophobe.
Silicone is used in the construction industry for many purposes such as for coatings, fire protection and glazing seals. In the automotive industry, silicone rubber is used for external rubber gaskets and external trim.
Silicone rubber does not stick and is extremely low in chemical reactivity and, in spite of the fact that silicones does not support micro biological growth, they have low toxicity.
Permeability of silicone rubber for gases such as oxygen at room temperature which is 25 degrees Celsius.
A few uses of silicone rubber
Aquarium joints Silicone rubber gaskets and seals are often used in this context because of water resistant qualities. It can be used for minor repairs.
Automotives SIlicone rubber is used in many contexts as lubricants for brake components, as well as using silicone rubber.
Coatings Silicone films are often applied to glass which is a silica-based substrate.
Silicone tubing - Owing to its unique properties silicone rubber is used everywhere from dairy tubing to medical purposes.
Many silicone rubber manufacturers claim to be innovative. In Silicone Engineerings case, innovation is embedded into its culture.
Silicone Engineering is continually developing new methods of using silicone for customers in order to maintain and grow its business with them.
