Elastomere und Harze mit Si–O-Gerüst: Backform, Medizin, Dichtstoff.
Auch genannt: Polysiloxan · VMQ rubber · silicone resin
Silikon is one of 32 materials in this atlas, grouped under polymers: history, structure, measured properties, process routes, uses, safety and market — not a product catalogue.
Scores compare Silikon with the rest of the atlas on strength, heat, fire behaviour, insulation, workability and circularity. They are editorial, not certificates.
Seven chapters follow. Fire and insulation claims name test families (Euroclass, ASTM E84, ISO 5660, KS F) rather than inventing a single safety number.
Tiefe Einführung
Silikon ([R2SiO]n) is a family of grades whose density ~1.1–1.5 g/cm³, heat band elastomer; resins cure, and fire letter often high LOI vs organic rubbers.
Silikon is sold as grades, not as a single substance. Chemistry [R2SiO]n, density ~1.1–1.5 g/cm³, heat band elastomer; resins cure.
This atlas treats Silikon as a system: mill route, coatings, tests and the cavity it sits in.
Conductivity note: ~0.2 W/m·K; filled greases conduct. Insulation score 42/100 is relative to 32 entries — metals lose, VIPs and aerogels win.
Fire letter in editorial use: often high LOI vs organic rubbers. Do not equate A1 with “safe in a blaze” or E with “illegal”. Assemblies decide.
Origin: Kipping / Rochow 1940s, United Kingdom / US. The process chapter follows feedstock → conversion → forming → finish → install.
Uses span buildings to defence / safety. Pairings matter: rubber.
Producers below are landmarks, not an endorsement ranking. Prices are bands, not live quotes.
Circularity mark 40/100. Ask which scrap, which certificate, which year.
