Description
The liquid form of the polymer that contains silicone, carbon and oxygen. Silicones were first discovered by F. Kipping in England in 1900, but were not commercially produced until 1943 by Dow Corning. They were called silicones because their empirical formula (R2SiO) is similar to that for ketones (R2CO) (Lewis, 1993). Silicone oils are usually formed with chains of dimethyl siloxane. They are very resistant to weathering, chemicals, water and high temperatures. Additionally, silicone oils are odorless, tasteless and have a low surface tension. Because of the low surface tension, they penetrate readily and can crawl long-distances over most types of surfaces. Silicone oils are used as lubricants, mold releasing agents, wetting agents and antifoaming agents. They can be crosslinked via a room-temperature vulcanization (RTV) process to produce a rubbery type solid.
