The Role of Silicone in Aerospace Industry

Silicone is used as one of the most important materials in aerospace industry. Due to its unique physical and chemical properties, this substance is used to produce various parts in spacecrafts, satellites and rocket engines. For example, silicon is used in the production of electronic components and integrated circuits (IC) in spacecrafts and satellites due to the compatibility of these components in special space conditions and the protection of the space environment.

In airplane and rocket engines, silicone is used as a thermal and electrical insulating material. This material can withstand harsh conditions, including very high heat and extreme temperature changes in airplane engines, and silicone is also used to reduce the temperature of electronic components in thermal coolers in airplanes.

Application of silicone in aircraft parts

Silicone is used as one of the most important materials in aerospace industry. Due to its unique physical and chemical properties, this substance is used to produce various parts in spacecrafts, satellites and rocket engines. For example, silicone is used in the production of electronic components and integrated circuits (ICs) used in spacecraft and satellites. These parts must be compatible with special conditions in space and be protected for the space environment.

In airplane and rocket engines, silicone is used as a thermal and electrical insulating material. This material can withstand harsh conditions including very high heat and extreme temperature changes in aircraft engines. Silicone is also used in aircraft heat sinks, which are used in space systems to reduce the temperature of electronic components.

The silicone products that are produced in the aerospace industry in different forms for insulating the following parts:

Door sealant
Window sealant
Cargo compartment above the passenger’s head
Panels
Valve ducts
Engine gaskets
Wires and cables
Washers to insulate connections
