Silicones are chemical compounds – synthetic polymers. The well-known industrial silicone available in stores is based on a whole range of plastics, mainly silicone resins and polysiloxanes. It contains various additives or fillers: dyes, antioxidants, texture matching additives, as well as anti-mildew, fungicides and bactericides. Silicones are commonly used substances, mainly due to their mechanical properties such as: non-flammability, thermal resistance, chemical resistance, and they are electrical insulators.
