Silicon-based materials, including silicones, are truly amazing. They can be
formulated to deliver an almost unlimited range of benefits. They can stick
things firmly together or allow them to slip easily apart. They can be used to
create tough, water-repellent architectural coatings and fluffy,
super-absorbent bath towels. They can withstand both desert heat and arctic
cold, chemical attack and electrical discharge. Yet they are gentle enough for
use in lotions that soothe a baby’s skin.
The list of how silicones and other silicon-based materials can improve our
world is as long as imagination and as broad as society’s needs. One of the
things we value most about these materials is their contribution to the
sustainability of our diverse lifestyles and the preservation of our natural
resources.
