Throughout the typical American home, one can find a wide range of products assembled with silicone adhesives. Oven-door handles and refrigerator gaskets, for example, are bonded with silicone because it maintains flexibility when exposed to extreme hot and cold. Glass screens and panes adhere extremely well to durable plastic frames with silicone, making it a wise choice when assembling windows and TVs.
Silicone adhesives are also prevalent throughout the car or truck parked in the garage or on the driveway. For starters, there’s the vehicle’s mirrors and hood ornament. In addition, silicone is used to assemble parts ranging from engine control modules to wire wheels, and it is applied as gaskets that prevent leaks from the vehicle’s oil pan and valve covers.
