Driver: Superior properties of silicone and high demand for silicone in the electronics industry are the major drivers of the silicone market.
Silicones are one of the most versatile products used in a wide range of industries. Silicone is best suited for use in temperatures higher than 100 °C (the limit of most other rubbers). Silicone rubber is non-toxic and used in food applications. The superior properties of silicones make them suitable for use in seals and gaskets that need to be steamed or sterilized. They are also used in the electrical & electronics industry due to their excellent electrical resistance. Silicone is also used as insulation materials in various electronic components such as computers, televisions, and aircraft video displays protecting them from dust, dirt, and heat.
