Silicone Gel Market

Silicone gel is a synthetic gel made from repeating units of siloxane. The chain of alternating oxygen atoms and silicon atoms are integrated with hydrogen or carbon. Silicone gels are composed of reactive silicone cross-linkers and reactive silicone polymers. It is used to fill breast implants and is useful in removing various types of scars, such as hypertrophic scars, keloids, and superficial scars. It has a wide range of applications in medical & pharmaceuticals, electrical & electronics, and cosmetics & personal care.
