Silicone drainage tube is used in treatment of blood or air circulation and drainage which has superb characteristics like odorless, tasteless, non-toxic, low stimulation, long shelf and chemical resistance. This tube can be sterilized by ethylene oxide, gamma radiations, steam autoclaving.
Silicone rubber is an elastomer composed of silicone(present in silica) together with carbon,oxygen and hydrogen.
IN 1930, JAMES FRANKLIN HYDE RAN THE FIRST RESEARCH TO PRODUCE COMMERCIAL SILICONES.
Silicon is an element which is present in silica (sand) while silicone rubber is manufactured by
extracting silicon from silica and passing it through hydrocarbons. It's then mixed with the
other chemicals to create silicone.
A silicone or polysiloxane is a polymer made up of siloxane (−R2Si−O−SiR2−, where R = organic
group).
