Silicone elastomers have emerged out to be the most commonly used materials for imparting strength and toughness to a variety of diverse materials
Silicone elastomers are extensively used in many fields including packaging, pharmaceutical industries, medical devices, food and beverage industry, textile industry, and aerospace industry, etc. They are extensively used in the food processing industry. They are also used in the automobile manufacturing industry for making automobile tires, brake pads, heat shields, and many more. These are highly demanded commodity products owing to the features that they provide. Silicone elastomers are known for their resistance to extreme temperatures, chemical reactions, abrasion, friction, abrasion resistance, creep resistance, and compressive strength. It is also known to have high tensile strength, tensile flexibility, dimensional stability, and thermal conductivity property. They have excellent adhesive properties, chemical and physical properties, good heat conductivity, good electrical and mechanical properties, excellent resistance to corrosion, flame retardant properties, excellent r
