2. Silicone polymers are used for high-temperature oil baths, high vacuum pumps etc.
3. They are used as excellent insulators for electric motors and other electrical appliances.
4. They find applications in making vaseline like greases which are used as lubricants in aeroplanes.
5. Silicon ribbons are very useful because they retain their elasticity at a lower temperature. They are also mixed in paints to make them damp resistant.
