Silicones are a class of inert, semi-inorganic polymeric compounds of silicon, having a wide range of thermal stability and extreme water repellence, used in a very wide range of industrial applications, and in prosthetic replacements for body parts.
A material made from silicone & oxygen. Can be in thermosetting elastomer or liquid form.
A unique polymer system which can be a very effective release coating, or pressure-sensitive adhesive capable of functioning effectively at extreme temperatures.
A synthetic liquid gel that is used as an outer coating on implants; also used to make the inside filling of some breast implants.
Silicone is often used as a generic term for nearly all substances that contain a silicon atom. In a sealer, silicone helps create water repellency.
A mineral based substance, allowing moisture to stay locked in the skin but at the same time allowing oxygen in and out of the follicles. Also used for its smooth, nongreasy feel.
Polymeric organic silicon compounds obtained as oils, greases, or plastics and used especially for water-resistant and heat-resistant lubricants, varnishes, binders, and electric insulators An organic material, derived from sand, which is generally well-tolerated by the body and has the capacity to be formed into various shapes.
A group of compounds of silicon and oxygen; commonly used as implants in cosmetic surgery because they resist body fluids and are not rejected by the body.
Silicone is a man-made material that can be found in several forms such as oil, gel, or rubber (elastomer). The exact make-up of silicone will be different depending on its use.
Compound used in the manufacture of binders that is characterized by outstanding heat resistance, high water repellency, and chemical resistance. A key ingredient in some caulks and sealants, and in the formulation of many effective defoamers for latex paints.
Type of flexible and comfortable plastic. Because it is commonly used in nose pads in eyeglasses, people who are allergic to silicone should ask their eye doctor for a different type of nose pad. A solid, soft, and flexible material that does not contain gels or fluids.
Dimethylpolysiloxane, a biocompatible material.
In optical fiber, some are used as buffer materials and others for cladding. Not to be confused with silica (SiO 2 ) or silicon (the element, Si).
A dielectric fluid for special situations consisting mostly of the chemical polymer silicone.
Our silicone compounds are inert and guarantee complete compliance to ASTM, military, and FDA specifications required by food, medical, electrical, and filter manufacturers. ...
A substance used for slot car tires of the 60's. When the motors became so fast, the silicone began to explode on the rims, different substances had to be used that would hold up under the high rpm's. Silicone tires are still used in the HO scale slot cars.
A quality material used to make high-end sex toys. Silicone is soft and lifelike, warms up quickly to body temperature. It is non-porous, therefore easy to clean with mild soap and water, or boiled for sterilization. Silicones are largely inert compounds with a wide variety of forms and uses. Typically heat-resistant, nonstick and rubberlike, they are frequently used in cookware, medical applications, sealants, lubricants and insulation.
Silicones are a class of inert, semi-inorganic polymeric compounds of silicon, having a wide range of thermal stability and extreme water repellence, used in a very wide range of industrial applications, and in prosthetic replacements for body parts.
RTV SILICONE - High temperature resistance to (450 oF), quick cure, high strength with good flexibility and weatherability.
