It is made by curing or vulcanizing natural rubber. Silicon is injected into the long hydrocarbon chains of natural rubber under high heat and pressure. The result is silicone rubber. Silicone rubber is a silicon polymer with rubberized qualities. It was first produced under the chemical name of polydimethlysiloxane.Silicone rubber is heat resistant so can be used to make cookware including oven mitts, tongs, pot holders and pan handles.Silicone rubber also possesses non-stick qualities, so it can be formed into flexible cookware such as muffin and cake pans.ll silicone is inert, it does not react with other elements or compounds. There are (as yet) no known health hazards of silicone. Silicone is not biodegradable, but it can be recycled easily â where facilities exist.

Polyester is a manufactured product, usually a textile, that is made from synthesized polymers. It tends to be very resilient, quick drying, resistant to biological damage such as mold and mildew, easy to wash and able to hold forms well.his substance is made from polyethylene terephthalate (PET), the same material that is used to make plastic drink bottles. Many drink bottles are recycled by being reheated and turned into polyester fibers, which, in addition to being an efficient use, also helps keep polymers out of landfills.
