'/silicone-oils' : 'Silicone Oils are liquid polymerized siloxanes containing organic side chains. They generally have high thermal stability and great lubricating properties. The polymer backbone of silicones is (Si-O-Si-O-Si-O….) with groups attached to the tetravalent silicon including but not limited to methyl, amine, phenyl or other alkane groups as an example. Silicones like simethicone are very low to anti-foaming and can be used in many applications where removing foam is necessary to keep a reaction at bay like during fermentation. Cyclosiloxanes are also desired for certain applications like in cosmetics where glide and film forming might be essential just as silicones like dimethicone are used with different viscosities in cosmetic chemistry for hair, skin and lip products to name a few.'
