Since we are moving towards a positively reinforced world, or even if it is negative reinforcement by the explicit reactions of nature, whatever the reason may be, the outcome is turning out to be a good one.
Nevertheless, the world has moved on to long-lasting environment-friendly options to replace the toxicity of plastic that has caused hazardous implications in this world.
One product that has taken the world by storm by introducing a reliable alternative to plastic is liquid silicone.
Liquid silicone has an unbelievably simple structure that we will reveal later in the blog.
At this moment, the more critical stance about liquid silicone is its environmental implications, as it is often marketed as a non-toxic environment-friendly material as opposed to plastic.
Recent studies have concluded that even if silicone is not biodegradable, it still holds a higher position of being a green-friendly alternative as it can be easily recycled.
Even in the worst-case scenario, if it is dumped after a single use, it will decompose in one or two decades; its dissociated components will never become a hazard for the environment or wildlife.
Case in point that liquid silicone is the only solution present nowadays to humanity to save itself from the devastating irreversible climate changes being caused by over pollution, of which single-use plastic products are the major contributors.
We all have to rely on it, and sometimes without realizing often, we purchase the products that are based on silicone.
One way or the other, due to the accessibility and practicality of silicone products, liquid silicone has made its way into our lives.
There are several ways to enhance our quality of experience of these silicone products, some of which are explained later in the blog.

Liquid silicone, due to its vast applicability, seems like a very complex material. In reality, it is quite the opposite of this common misconception.
The liquid silicone is a polysiloxane which is made up of hundreds of tiny monomers of siloxane.
Siloxane has a simple formula of silicon and oxygen, which are common constituents of sand with an added chain of organic compounds such as an alkyl or phenyl.
All of these chemical elements are joined together in one monomer with simple bonds that can be broken or bent with slight changes in their environment.
When a lot of these small molecules come together to form a long straight chain with simple bonds, it is then that the liquid silicone is truly generated.
This polymer that has been created after a careful process is now ready to be molded to acquire its final form, or it can be mixed with other elements to create alloys so they may fulfill some different fate.
Liquid silicone can easily be conjured in the house if one has primary chemistry knowledge and steady skills to maintain and produce a balanced chemical reaction that will provide authentic liquid silicone as a result.
But it is best to leave this task at the hand of the professionals, given if one fails all of the base material will end up going to waste and with it a lot of money that one used to purchase the base material.
The one industry where the replacement of plastic into some other material was unimaginable was the food industry.
