Description
Silicones have been around since the mid 1900's; primarily as Dimethicone and Cyclomethicone. Organo-siloxane
chemistry and application has evolved over the past 60 years both in the US and globally to enhance the marriage
of the functional characteristics of the siloxane backbone with the functionality of organics. This 90 minute
accredited training focus in depth the physical properties of organo-siloxane chemistry and how it relates to
polysiloxanes. This 90 minute accredited training focuses on the fundamental chemistry and the resultant
properties of these functional organo-siloxanes.
