Silicone-based materials are synthetic compounds made from silicon, oxygen, carbon, and hydrogen. They are known for their flexibility, durability, and resistance to heat and chemicals. Commonly used in various applications, silicone-based products can be found in items like sealants, adhesives, and cooking utensils. These materials are popular in industries such as medical, automotive, and construction due to their non-toxic nature and ability to withstand extreme temperatures. Silicone-based lubricants and coatings are also widely used for their excellent water-repellent properties and long-lasting performance.
