Silicone Process

Silicone Processing

Silicone, an eco-friendly material made from sand, is widely used across various industries from household goods to automobiles, aerospace, and pharmaceuticals.

Silicone?

Silicone is a polymer made by extracting silicon (Si) from stone and sand (SiO₂), and linking it through siloxane bonds (Si-O-Si). This molecular structure gives silicone both inorganic and organic properties. That is, due to the inorganic characteristics from the siloxane bond (Si-O-Si), it offers excellent heat resistance, chemical stability, abrasion resistance, and cold resistance; and due to its organic nature, it provides high reactivity, solubility, and workability. Silicone does not exist in nature and is artificially synthesized. Depending on its form, it can be classified as oil, rubber, or resin, and based on usage purposes, it is blended with various materials to create a wide range of products.

Silicone Manufacturing Process

Burn stone and sand with coke to remove oxygen (DEOXIDATION)
Oxygen is removed from SiO₂, producing metallurgical silicon (Si)
Various chemical reactions generate chlorosilane
