BLOCK SILICONE | 

Block silicones are composed of silicone elastomers combined with organic blocks (e.g., polyether, polyester, or polyamide blocks) in the form of block copolymers. These silicone-organic block copolymers provide a balance between the advantages of both silicone and organic components.

The silicone segment gives the material its smoothness, elasticity, and hydrophobicity, while the organic block contributes to compatibility with other textile chemicals and enhances its adhesion to fibers.

Here is the image representing block silicone used in the textile industry. It illustrates the silicone coating on a piece of fabric, highlighting its smooth, flexible, and water-resistant properties. The water droplet being repelled demonstrates the hydrophobic nature of the silicone.
