For example, silicones are common in the aerospace industry, due principally to their low and high temperature
performance. In the electronics field, silicones are used as electrical insulation, potting compounds and other applications
specific to semiconductor manufacture. Their long-term durability has made silicone sealants, adhesives and waterproof
coatings commonplace in the construction industry. Their excellent biocompatibility makes many silicones well suited for
use in numerous personal care, pharmaceutical, and medical device applications.
