Silicone Products
Silicone Rubbers were first used commercially in 1943, where their unique thermal and electrical properties found use in high temperature insulation in electric motors. Today, Silicone Rubbers (or Polysiloxanes to give them their correct name) have been developed into a highly diversified range of applications.
