Is organosilicone toxic

 Many people will ask this question, and it is normal to have doubts, because the use of silicone is very wide, and many daily necessities will show him, such as baby pacifiers. This is related to the safety of the baby, and parents will be very concerned. Now I tell you, do n’t worry, silicone is non-toxic to humans, the most environmentally friendly and safe product.

    Organosilicon compounds are compounds that contain Si-C bonds and at least one organic group is directly connected to the silicon atom. It is customary to connect those organic groups to the silicon atom through oxygen, sulfur, nitrogen, etc. Also regarded as an organosilicon compound. Among them, polysiloxanes with a silicon-oxygen bond (-Si-0-Si-) as a skeleton are among the most numerous organosilicon compounds, and have been widely studied and widely used, accounting for more than 90% of the total amount.

    Silicone materials have a unique structure:

    (1) Sufficient methyl groups on the Si atom shield the high-energy polysiloxane backbone;


    (2) C-H is non-polar, making the interaction between molecules very weak;


    (3) The Si-O bond length is longer and the Si-O-Si bond angle is larger.

    (4) Si-O bond is a covalent bond with 50% ionic bond characteristics (covalent bond has directivity, ionic bond has no directivity).

       Due to the unique structure of organic silicon, it has the properties of both inorganic and organic materials. It has the basic properties of low surface tension, small viscosity temperature coefficient, high compressibility, and high gas permeability. It also has high and low temperature resistance, electrical insulation, and oxidation resistance. Properties such as chemical resistance, weather resistance, flame resistance, water repellency, corrosion resistance, non-toxicity, odorlessness, and physiological inertness, are widely used in aerospace, electronic and electrical, construction, transportation, chemical, textile, food, light industry, medical and other industries Among them, silicone is mainly used for sealing, bonding, lubrication, coating, surface activity, mold release, defoaming, foam suppression, waterproof, moisture-proof, inert filling, etc. With the continuous increase in the number and variety of organic silicon, the application field has been continuously expanded, and an important product system in the field of new chemical materials has been formed. Many varieties are other chemicals and are essential. Organic silicon materials can be divided into: silane coupling agent (organic silicon chemical reagent), silicone oil (silicone grease, silicone emulsion, silicon surfactant), high temperature vulcanized silicone rubber, liquid silicone rubber, silicone resin, Compound, etc.
