Silicone Rubber Production Process Explained by NISA NABILAH MOHD ASRIN is a document available to read on EtoBox.
Silicone is produced through a multi-step process beginning with isolating silicon from quartz sand through heating. This silicon powder is then combined with methyl chloride and heated to form methyl chlorosilane, the main building block of silicone. Methyl chlorosilane undergoes distillation and reaction with water to form polydimethylsiloxane, the silicone polymer backbone. Silicone can then be processed through various methods like injection molding, extrusion, calendering, or compression molding to pro
