Ua hōʻike ʻia kona waiwai hoʻohana ākea ma nā kahua like ʻole. ʻO nā waiwai ponoʻī o Silicone, e like me ka ductility maikaʻi loa, ka maʻalahi, ke kū ʻana o ka wela kiʻekiʻe, a me ke kūpaʻa kemika, hiki iā ia ke hāʻawi i nā hiʻohiʻona maikaʻi loa e hoʻopaʻa a hoʻopaʻa i ka hana ʻenehana, e like me ka uila, kamaʻilio, aerospace, a me ka hana kaʻa, e pale pono i nā lako mai nā pōʻino kaiapuni. Eia kekahi, he koʻikoʻi ko ka silicone kihi ʻākau i ke ola o ka hale, e like me ke sila a me ka leak -pau hoʻopaʻapaʻa, ka ʻauwai, a me nā halepaku, a me ka hana ʻana i nā moena papahele hale a me nā sila puka a me ka puka makani. I ke koho 'ana i ka silicone kihi kūpono, he mea nui ia e ho'olohe i kona ma'ema'e, ka'ina hana, elasticity, a me ka laula wela e pono ai e ho'okō i nā pono o nā noi kiko'ī. Ma ke ano holo'oko'a, ma muli o kāna hana maika'i loa a me ka ho'ohana nui 'ana, ua lilo ka silicone kihi kūpono i mea waiwai nui i nā 'oihana a me nā hale.
