Silicone Rubber Material SpecificationsExonic Polymers is a leading manufacturer of Silicone products. Silicone is a synthetic rubber elastomer where the principal raw material is silicon (Si), which is the second most abundant element in the earth's crust, following oxygen. Silicon does not occur as a single element in nature. Silicone is manufactured in many forms including extruded profiles, sealants, adhesives, fluids, gels, and liquid rubber. Silicones play a key role in many industries including electronics industry, the transportation industry, foods, cosmetics, and the construction industry. ![]() ![]() General Silicone Rubber Advantages & Benefits
