Question

Why are silicones thermally stable??

Open in App

Solution

Dear Student,
Silicone has a low thermal conductivity, which means that it transfers heat at a low rate compared to other materials. This low thermal conductivity can also be described as high thermal (heat) resistance. In addition to simply resisting heat, silicone also exhibits thermal stability, or the ability to maintain its properties and structure over a wide temperature range.
Regards
