Silicone faʻapipiʻi o se faʻapipiʻi e faʻapipiʻiina i vailaʻau eseese, o le vaega muamua o le silicone. O lo'o taua i lalo se fa'amatalaga puupuu o mea autu o lo'o i totonu ole fa'apipi'i silicone:
1. Silicone polymer: O le vaega muamua o le faʻapipiʻi silikoni o le silicone polymer, o se polymer e aofia ai le silicon (element silicon) ma le okesene (element oxygen). O le pipii malosi o le silikoni polymer ma le maualuga-tete'e o le vevela ua avea ai ma vaega taua o fa'apipi'i silikoni.
2. Hardener: O le faʻamalosi i le faʻapipiʻi silicone e faʻaaogaina e faʻavave ai le faʻamaloloina o le faʻapipiʻi. O le filifiliga o le hardener e mafai ona fetuutuunai ina ia ausia le manaʻomia taimi faʻamalolo ma faʻatinoga e faʻavae i luga o manaʻoga o le faʻaoga patino.
3. Faʻatumu: Faʻapipiʻi i totonu o le faʻapipiʻi silikoni e faʻaaogaina e fetuunai ai mea faʻapipiʻi, e pei o le viscosity, faigata, ma le malosi. O mea fa'atumu masani e aofia ai le silica, silicates, ma mea fa'apipi'i.
4. Catalyst: Catalysts faatelevaveina le fua faatatau o le tali atu o polymers silicone, ma faalauiloaina ai le faagasologa faamalolo o le pipii. O fa'amamafa masani e aofia ai masima u'amea, peroxides, ma fa'alapotopotoga fa'aola.
5. Faʻaopoopoga: O faʻapipiʻi silikoni e mafai ona aofia ai mea faʻapipiʻi e faʻaleleia ai le gaosiga o meatotino, mautu, ma faʻapipiʻi. O le ituaiga ma le faʻamoemoega o faʻaopoopoga e eseese e faʻatatau i le faʻapipiʻi faʻapipiʻi faʻapipiʻi silicone, ma e aofia ai faʻamautu, palasitika, antioxidants, ma isi.
