For Flex Technologies, It All Begins With Silicone!

There's a reason we choose silicone as the base of the bulk of our products; well, there are several reasons actually. Silicone has a number of innate factors that make it a super-versatile, safe, and dependable material. From buildings to cosmetics to automotive components and adhesives, silicone touches just about every aspect of our lives. 

At Flex Technologies, we unwaveringly stand behind our silicone hoses and tubes as we know they were manufactured with one of the most cost-effective and long-lasting manufacturing materials on the planet. Some fascinating facts about silicone include:

• Structural silicone sealants used in buildings more than 30 years ago are still executing their strength and reliability today without fail. 
• Almost half of all makeup, hair and skin care products and even underarm deodorants produced today contain silicone.
• Silicones are also used in a variety of electronic devices. It is likely that your smart phone has some form of silicone within it.
• Some silicones are able to resist and repel water while others are made to absorb it.
• You can  thank silicone for your fluffy towels. It is with the addition of silicones to the fabric that they stay so cozy and absorbent. 
• It is said that silicones are the missing link between organic and inorganic chemistry and have unique properties other polymers simply cannot match.
• The properties within silicone allow its different forms to all be resistant to sunlight, moisture, extreme temperatures and aging. 
• Many silicone fluids and elastomers can be recycled. They also last years, even decades, longer than other building and manufacturing materials making them an eco-friendly product base.
