Silicone is an excellent material for use in all areas of the fashion industry and textile manufacture and offer a wide range of benefits. They add softness and flexibility as well as making materials more durable and wrinkle resistant. They can also be used in outdoor clothing manufacture to add water repellent qualities. Silicone coatings will remain flexible and stable over a wider range of climates and temperatures and will not become stiff or brittle as the temperatures drop.

Silicones allow clothing manufacturers to take their textiles beyond just coatings and waterproofing. They are used to create intelligent textiles and performance gear which can withstand some of the harshest conditions on the planet.
