I No limit to the use of Silicones under these conditions.
II Silicones can only be used in a limited range of applications depending on the type of stress applied.
There are pronounced differences between temporary and permanent exposure as well as between complete immersion in the medium and partial contact with it.
III Silicones are not suitable and should not be used.
