Ask HN: How is Silicone synthesized / manufactured?
I use it a lot for molding small sculptures but have never had any luck finding any info beyond descriptions of the chemistry which is way beyond me.
Where's How it's Made when I need it?
- eesmith 5y agoYouTube search for "silicone manufacturing process" found this: "How is silicone made anyway?", from Wacker Chemie: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YxiNp7oQtuA https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YxiNp7oQtuA Still a lot of chemistry, but it's got animations as well. What more details do you want?
