When it comes to silicon, many people are confused. "I have only heard of silicon related to Silicon Valley. I know silicon is used in computers. I really haven't heard of silicone. When some people hear about silicone, their first reaction is like this. Admittedly, silicone is not as well-known as plastics, metals, and other materials, but in our lives, it is as widely used as other materials. Today, let's not talk about chemical formulas or technologies, only about silicone in our production and life.

In other words, the exploration and research of organosilicon compounds can be traced back to the 18th century for military purposes. However, the rapid development of organosilicon was due to its use as a special material for military equipment such as aircraft, rockets, and tanks during World War II. Organic silicon materials are typical semi inorganic and semi organic polymer materials. They have unique properties such as high and low temperature resistance, oxygen resistance, light resistance, and weather resistance. Therefore, they are widely used for connecting aircraft structural components, resistors, and wireless electronic equipment.

Simply stating surface sealing is not intuitive enough. Let's take a look at an example. It is said that when Germany invaded the former Soviet Union, it was experiencing a once-in-a-century severe winter. All tanks and armored equipment of the Soviet Union and Germany became a pile of scrap metal due to the freezing of oil and gas required for operation. Faced with this severe situation, Soviet scientists discovered a substance mixed with oil that could prevent freezing and gain an advantage in the war against Germany. This substance is what we call silicone oil today.

Instrument oil, damping oil, special hydraulic oil, and advanced coatings all rely on organic silicon materials. Just as many technological products originated from military warfare and became popular in daily life, silicone materials are no exception! Due to its excellent performance, silicone materials were quickly applied in various aspects of production and life after World War II! It can be said that from opening our glasses in the morning to going to bed at night, we deal with silicone products all day long.
