🏭 How is silicone actually made?
It starts with quartz sand.
Then it involves heat, chemistry and some seriously clever engineering.
At Silclear, we work with silicone every day, but most people have no idea how it’s made or what makes it so different from rubber or plastic.
If you’ve ever wondered how this tough, flexible, non-toxic material goes from the raw mineral under your flip flops, to milk liners (or drinks tube, or medical seal…), we’ve got you covered.
This explainer breaks it down:
🔹 What silicone is made from
🔹 The steps in the manufacturing process
🔹 Why it matters for quality and performance
