The unique properties of silicones cover a wide range of functions. Most noticeable is the excellent temperature resistance. Silicone resin is stable at -90-330 ° C. This fairly wide range is in sharp contrast to most organics, which begin to solidify above 0 ° C and begin to fade and oxidize at 120 ° C. Due to its inherent resistance to ultraviolet (UV) and oxidation, the weatherability of silicone resins is very good, making them ideal for outdoor use. Silicones do not fade and crack over time like organics.

Silicone resin's electrical insulation performance is close to glass products, so it is also perfect for electronic products. In addition, its special resistance to ozone and corona makes it suitable for high voltage applications. Silicones provide good water resistance and water immersion stability, so they can be found in the field of underwater instruments. As a kind of rubber, because of its high resistance to compression deformation, silicone resin is used in the field of gaskets and seals. Its own bonding ability is used in oven conveyor belts for baking food, and it can also be used in elastic molds for injection molding materials and low melting alloys.

Silicone resins have exceptional UV resistance and can be used in high-energy lighting, instrumentation and solar facilities. In the 1950s and 1960s, a large number of artificial heart subjects were studied. Since then, the biocompatibility of silicone resins has led to its use in a variety of implants, wound care and drug delivery systems.
