eli5: What exactly is silicone and why is it so essential to making electronics ?
In: 45
Silicones are a type of plastic. But it can also come in the form of an oily or slippery fluid. They are a manufactured product that can be used as lubricants, oils etc or formed into a rubbery type material that can withstand very high temperatures and resists things sticking to them.
They might perhaps be used in equipment or used as seals.
