Plastics in 60 Seconds - Resin

Silicone is one of the most remarkable materials in modern manufacturing. Built on a silicon-oxygen backbone instead of carbon, giving it properties no traditional plastic can match. In this episode of Plastics in 60 Seconds, we cover what silicone is, why it performs across a temperature range from negative 60 to over 230 degrees Celsius, and how silicone rubber, gel, foam, and resin are used across medical, aerospace, food grade, and industrial applications. Non-toxic, UV stable, chemically inert, and trusted inside the human body, silicone is in a category of its own.
