Silicones exhibit many useful characteristics, including:[1]
>Low thermal conductivity
>Low chemical reactivity
>Low toxicity
>Thermal stability (constancy of properties over a wide temperature range of −100 to 250 °C).
>The ability to repel water and form watertight seals.
Does not stick to many substrates, but adheres very well to others, e.g. glass.
>Does not support microbiological growth.
>Resistance to oxygen, ozone, and ultraviolet (UV) light. This property has led to widespread use of silicones in the construction industry (e.g. coatings, fire protection, glazing seals) and the automotive industry (external gaskets, external trim).
