Silicone 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 Silicone with the rest of the atlas on strength, heat, fire behaviour, insulation, workability and circularity. They are editorial, not certificates.

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. Silicone ([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.
