Silicone is considered an inorganic product, so it has a minimum duration of 10 years as one of its main characteristics. Silicones are highly resistant to ultraviolet and atmospheric agents, such as the effect of ozone, high or low temperatures (usually from -45 to + 145 ° C).

Some of its properties such as water retention, soft and soft touch to fabrics, being resistant to alkali, stable at high temperatures and high lubrication, are ideal for the manufacture of products that generate comfort and safety for people and a long service life for machines and equipment.

Silicones can be considered semi-organic compounds because they have a silicon atom in the middle of their main chain, which is usually combined with an oxygen atom. Silicones are chemically inert polymers, resistant to decomposition by heat, water or oxidizing agents and are good electrical insulators. Being inert does not harm the environment, so it does not contaminate the soil, water or air. Silicone can be handled safely without risk to human health. In addition, most silicones are recyclable, so they do not pollute the environment. Silicone is widely used in the composition of cosmetics, health products and lubricants.
