Silicone gel is a synthetic gel which is used to fill in breast and treat scars such as hypertonic, superior and keloids. The silicone gel consists of repeating siloxane units which are chains of silicon atoms and oxygen combined with carbon or hydrogen. Rapid expansion of solar energy and LED lighting will accelerate industry growth in the coming years.
Silicone gels are ideal for potting and encapsulation in all the electronics owing to their optical clarity mainly in LED and lighting application. Its key properties include wide temperature operating range, flexibility, UV resistance, chemicals, water and humidity resistance which promotes its usage in electronics and electrical application, thus driving industry growth. Silicone gels have extensive applications in wound and scar healing where they help in hydrating the wounds and treating prophylaxis and excessive scaring which is likely to further boost market growth.
