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 common type of plastic used in moulds, filler paste, cables and sealant compounds
A thermosetting elastomer insulation with excellent heat resistance Polymeric materials in which the recurring chemical group contains silicon and oxygen atoms as links in the main chain A thermosetting plastic material used for wire and cable covering that is thermally stable and with electrical properties exceeding those of most organic polymers
Silicone is a tough artificial substance made from silicon, which is used to make polishes, and also used in cosmetic surgery and plastic surgery. silicone breast implants. a chemical that is not changed by heat or cold, does not let water through, and is used in making artificial body parts, paint, and rubber (silicon). or polysiloxane Any of a diverse class of polymers manufactured as fluids, resins, or elastomers. They are partially organic compounds, but, unlike most polymers, they have a backbone containing no carbon, composed instead of alternating silicon and oxygen atoms. In most silicones, two organic groups (see functional group), usually methyl or phenyl, are attached to each silicon atom. Silicones in general are exceptionally stable and inert. Silicone fluids are used in hydraulic fluids, emulsion-breaking compositions, and breast implants and as adhesives, lubricants, water repellents, and protective coatings. Silicone rubbers are used as electrical insulators in encapsulations, coatings, and varnishes; as gaskets and caulking material; in specialized tubing; as automobile engine components; as flexible windows in face masks and air locks; for laminating glass cloth; and as surgical membranes and implants
any of a large class of siloxanes that are unusually stable over a wide range of temperatures; used in lubricants and adhesives and coatings and synthetic rubber and electrical insulation
A unique polymer system that can be a very effective release coating' or pressure sensitive adhesive capable of functioning effectively at extreme temperatures
A synthetic lubricating compound with high resistance to temperature change and water When added to caulking, it extends elasticity properties and increases the life of the caulking
A material made from silicon and oxygen Can be in thermosetting elastomer or liquid form The thermosetting elastomer form is noted for high heat resistance SJ Hard service rubber insulated pendant or portable cord, 300V, 60, 75°C, rating, 18-10 AWG, 2-6 conductors
offers a broad temperature use range of -80F to +400F, and excellent dry heat resistance Our silicone compounds are inert and guarantee complete compliance to ASTM, military, and FDA specifications required by food, medical, electrical, and filter manufacturers They are not used in dynamic seals because of relatively poor tensile, tear, and abrasion resistance
Any of a variety of polymeric organic silicon compounds Siloxane polymers consisting of alternate silicon and oxygen atoms with various organic radicals attached to the silicon
General Electric trademark for a material made from silicone and oxygen Can be in thermosetting elastomer or liquid form The thermosetting elastomer form is noted for high heat resistance
An implantable plastic material used to manufacture catheters and many medical implants
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
A synthetic gel that is used as an outer coating on breast implants and to make up the inside filling of some implants
A material made from silicone & oxygen Can be in thermosetting elastomer or liquid form The thermosetting elastomer form is noted for high heat resistance
A dielectric fluid for special situations consisting mostly of the chemical polymer silicone
Ingredient in polish which is the greatest enemy of the spray painter It prevents good adhesion when spraying
A type of synthetic rubber that is heat-resistant and more durable than standard or natural rubber
This is a rubber-like man-made material used extensively in gasket and sealing applications It is very resistant to a great range of chemicals including oils and solvents, and has a very wide temperature range
A term referring to either Los Angeles as a whole or the San Fernando Valley (see the Wikipedia article on the San Fernando Valley) which plays on the term Silicon Valley
