The market for silicone resins is not single, but rather a niche market that spans thousands of industries, disciplines, and functions. The following are examples of special applications of silicone resin, so it can be said to be a versatile material.

One of the first areas of application was during World War II. In 1943, silicone rubber gaskets were used on B-29 searchlights and superchargers. No other material can withstand such extreme temperatures. In the late 1940s, this primary use spawned an industry. Industrial gaskets and sealants, along with some applications of high-temperature rubber, have caused explosive market growth. Rapid expansion into automotive, aerospace and professional markets. At this time, the heat-cured silicone rubber industry had been established.

Before 1947, silicon defoamers had been used in industry. Based on very low surface tension, they can quickly eliminate foam. By the 1950s, liquid silicone resins with foam suppression were used in polyurethane products that produced a uniform cell structure.

In 1948, the first silicone emulsion was developed and used in modern tire molds based on silicon release agents. Polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) is a natural release agent that functions very similarly to release agents. At the same time, silicone oil automotive waxes and furniture varnishes are widely used. In addition, it has unique water-repellent ability for stone and textile.
