diener electronic : Silicone


	Silicone Polysiloxane, mostly poly(dimethylsiloxane), having found widespread application as oil or grease. Curable silicones are used e. g. in sealings. Silcones feature a very low surface energy (about 20 mN/m), therefore wetting well most other surfaces but not being wetted by most other liquids. Hence, even traces of silicones disturb most coating processes. The cleaning of surfaces containing silicones is feasible by special plasma methods.
