Silicone is a product that we all use, probably without even thinking about it. Silicone Moulding UK companies are producing thousands of products each year that are linked to silicone. It is much more than the sealant that provides a waterproof seal around the edge of your bath and shower. Here are some of the places that you might find silicone being used.
Kitchen – some of your kitchen utensils will be made from silicone. These utensils do not scratch your pots and pans like metal does and it is not susceptible to high temperatures like plastic and wood.
DIY – of course we couldn’t go on without mentioning the trusty sealant that is used to help prevent water and draughts from entering our properties as well as prevents water from cascading down the edges of our sinks, baths and showers and affecting the floor underneath.
Personal care – silicone is used in makeup application sponges. It helps to spread liquid products like foundation across the skin evenly and does not come with the same allergic risks as those application sponges that contain latex. More and more makeup related applicators are being made with silicone. It is also for this reason that silicone is being used more and more in medical applications as well.
