By chemically processing inorganic silicon such as silica in nature and transforming it into organic silicon such as polysiloxanes, it will become a new type of chemical material. With the development of technology, more than 20000 types of organic silicon products have been developed around the world. For example, actors' makeup props, breast enhancement and plastic surgery, artificial fur coats, fruit preservation, etc.

Silicone rubber has a wide range of uses. Some people call organic silicon materials "impenetrable" materials. In fact, it's not an exaggeration. Organic silicon is widely used in both national defense and military, as well as in industries such as light industry, construction, and healthcare.

Makeup and plastic surgery
The silicone rubber used for actors' makeup belongs to a type of organic silicone material. Previously, actors used latex materials for makeup, but now everyone knows that silicone rubber is much more effective than the former. It has excellent resistance to high and low temperatures, can still maintain its original nature at -60 ℃ -200 ℃, and is non-toxic, odorless, and non irritating to the human body.

Silicone rubber is used for plastic surgery and its effect is also very magical. For example, when a woman with a shrunken face requests plastic surgery, the doctor does not need a scalpel, but instead picks up a syringe and injects silicone plastic injection into the subcutaneous area of the patient's collapsed area. After a few minutes, the injection will solidify in the body, and the defective part of the patient can return to normal.

Sealing and plugging
Using silicone rubber as a high-temperature sealing material instead of asbestos is also an effective measure to prevent problems such as leakage, leakage, dripping, etc. Moreover, organic silicon has a particularly strong bonding force and is also a powerful helper in interior decoration design. When the doors and windows are not sealed, applying organic silicon to the gaps can effectively block the leak. Nowadays, organic silicon materials are widely used in all hotels, restaurants, and large buildings, and their dust and leakage prevention effects are very obvious.

Preservation
The storage and preservation of vegetables, fruits, grains, eggs and other foods has always been a headache. Because this type of food requires air for them to breathe (inhale oxygen, exhale carbon dioxide), but over time, it is easy to lose moisture and decay. If organic silicon is used to make a modified atmosphere film and placed on fruits and eggs, these pieces of modified atmosphere film are like small windows, which can not only make the air inside the bag unobstructed, meet the needs of food respiration, but also prevent the loss of moisture inside the bag.

According to measurements, it can regulate oxygen content by 3% -5% and carbon dioxide content by 4% -6%. In such plastic bags, the storage period of apples can be extended by three times, the good fruit rate of tomatoes can be increased by more than twice, and the good fruit rate of garlic seedlings can even reach 99%, which can be stored for 10 months! After storage, rice can also maintain a certain degree of freshness.

Brightening and softening
When you go shopping to buy clothes, you must also pay attention to some fiber fabrics and chemical fiber textile plush coats, which look shiny and bright, but feel soft to the touch. On the contrary, some pure cotton fabrics do not feel very good to the touch. Originally, if those chemical fiber fabrics were treated with organic silicone hydroxy emulsion, they would have the characteristics of high flash point and low freezing point. Silicone hydroxy emulsion originally belongs to a type of silicone, often referred to as silicone oil, which has similar characteristics to silicone rubber. As long as the sewing machine thread is treated with silicone oil, it will not easily break even at high speeds.

Eliminate foam
In addition, silicone oil plays a great role in eliminating foam in industry. Many industrial products will produce a lot of foam due to chemical reaction in the production process, and these foam will affect the quality and output of products. If a small amount of silicone oil is added, the foam will disappear immediately.

Defoamers can also be used to treat diseases. For example, pulmonary edema, which is a complication that most heart disease patients are prone to when they are critically ill. With the increase of exudate in the lungs, the foam will also increase dramatically. More foam will aggravate the hypoxia and promote the necrosis of the alveoli, so the exudate will increase further. Such a vicious cycle will lead to the death of the patient. The defoamer made of silicone oil can eliminate the foam in the patient's lungs, stop this vicious cycle and make the patient out of danger.
