How is Silicone synthesized / manufactured?


I use it a lot for molding small sculptures but have never had any luck finding any info beyond descriptions of the chemistry which is way beyond me.

Where's How it's Made when I need it?

YouTube search for "silicone manufacturing process" found this:

"How is silicone made anyway?", from Wacker Chemie: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YxiNp7oQtuA

Still a lot of chemistry, but it's got animations as well.

What more details do you want?
