Silicone is truly amazing and comes in various forms: it can be more fluid than water, more viscous than honey and asphalt, and even made into rubber like plasticine. It can be as soft as a sponge or as hard as quartz. It can be made into an adhesive or not stick at all, and it can also help with release. It can be very hydrophilic or very hydrophobic. It can be very shiny or made into a matte finish. It can be made into insulation and also help with heat and electricity conduction. It can be used for foaming and also for defoaming...
Up to now, no natural silicone has been discovered by humans. Therefore, we can temporarily declare that silicone is the crystallization of human wisdom. On silicone, scientists have simply discovered another world.
