Technological Advancements Triggering Silicones Market
Market Synopsis Market Research Future (MRFR) speculates that the global silicones market is estimated to demonstrate a stellar CAGR during the forecast period (2016-2023). Continuous growth in the healthcare and medical sector is likely to favor the market growth in the coming years. Silicones are referred to as polymers with large molecules and comprise several repeated sub-units. Such polymers comprise siloxane which is a chain of alternating silicon and oxygen atoms combined with carbon and hydrogen. Silicones are produced by the reduction of silica in sand form with carbon at high temperature. They are generally produced in three different steps; by the of synthesis chlorosilanes, by hydrolysis of chlorosilanes, and by condensation of polymerization. Market Potential and Pitfalls Silicones possesses excellent properties like superior aging resistance, superior weathering, high water repellency, thermostability, strong electrical insulation, chemical resistance, and high anti-foa
