Biological characteristics


Biologically active silicone is an essential nutrient for the human body. Silicone is an important element that constitutes human tissues and participates in metabolism. It is stored in every cell of the human body and serves as a support for cell construction, while helping to absorb other important substances such as magnesium, phosphorus, and calcium. The human body can only continuously obtain silicone through food.
Scientists believe that silicones mainly exist in the human body in three forms:
(1) Soluble organic silicon, accounting for 10% by weight;
(2) Thirty percent is present in various cell substrates;
(3) 60% is used to synthesize protein, which shows that our daily requirement of silicone is quite high.
If you want to stay young for 5 years, 10 years, or even 30 years, it is particularly important to consume 20-30 mg of silicone a day.


Temperature resistance


Silicone products are based on the silicon-oxygen (Si-O) bond as the main chain structure. The bond energy of the C-C bond is 82.6 kcal/mole. The bond energy of the Si-O bond is 121 kcal in the silicone /Mole, so the thermal stability of organic silicon products is high, and the chemical bonds of molecules will not break or decompose under high temperature (or radiation exposure). Silicone is not only resistant to high temperature, but also resistant to low temperature, and can be used in a wide temperature range. Whether it is chemical properties or physical mechanical properties, the change with temperature is very small.


Weather resistance


The main chain of organic silicon products is -Si-O-, there is no double bond, so it is not easy to be decomposed by ultraviolet light and ozone. Silicone has better thermal stability, radiation resistance and weather resistance than other polymer materials. The life span of silicone in natural environment can reach several decades.
Low surface tension and low surface energy
The main chain of organosilicon is very flexible, and its intermolecular force is much weaker than that of hydrocarbons. Therefore, it has lower viscosity than hydrocarbons of the same molecular weight, weak surface tension, low surface energy, and strong film-forming ability. This low surface tension and low surface energy are the main reasons for its various applications: hydrophobicity, defoaming, foam stability, anti-sticking, lubrication, glazing and other excellent properties.
