Silicone can bond with many materials such as concrete, glass, granite, marble, aluminum, steel and plastics.
Silicone is durable and can resist corrosion caused by bad weather, humidity or sunlight.
Silicone can improve the energy efficiency of buildings. When used as a sealant, silicone can resist moisture and resist the hot and cold air coming from the joints and crevices.
Silicone also helps in thermal insulation.
Silicone provides flexibility and reduces damage to buildings from low-to-medium-intensity earthquakes.
Therefore, silicone is not only essential for residential and office buildings, but also an indispensable material in bridges, drilling platforms, industrial plants and pipelines.
