Silicones, also known as siloxanes, are inert, synthetic compounds with a variety of forms and uses. Typically heat-resistant and rubber-like, they are used in sealants, adhesives, lubricants, medical applications, cooking utensils, and insulation. Silicones are polymers that include silicon together with carbon, hydrogen, oxygen, and sometimes ot...
