Notes:
In this paper a brief description of the synthesis of silicone polymers and their compounding is given, and the wide range of properties available in Silastic®Registered trademark of Dow Corning Corporation. silicone rubber is discussed. Some of the key properties are related to several applications. These include mechanical properties, chemical and environmental resistance, thermal stability; electrical properties, flame resistance, and surface characteristics. Silicone rubber parts are currently used in the automotive, electronic, dairy, medical, construction, and aerospace industries. Among the applications discussed are axle seals, hose, milk inflations, wire and cable insulation, and elastomeric keyboard springs. In addition, improved silicone rubber materials are being developed for new applications.
