Have you ever wondered what Silicone is?
Silicone is actually a man-made material. Consisting of 4 main components – silcon, carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen, all of which are abundant on our planet. By reacting Silcon with methyl-chloride and then water to remove the chlorine atoms, Silicone as we know it is created.
Known for it’s exceptional properties, Silicone is durable, non-toxic, temperature resistant, flexible, and has excellent electrical insulation properties. Silicone can withstand temperatures from -60°C to 300°C and is UV-resistant, making it perfect for a wide range of indoor and outdoor applications.
