Elastomers (polysiloxanes) are organic polymer materials that have the ability to stretch, deform, and ultimately bear tension. There are four main types of elastomeric impression materials: 1) poly sulfide, 2) silicone condensation polymerization, 3) addition polymerization silicone, and 4) polyether. Condensation silicones are composed of polydimethylsiloxane, ethyl orthosilicate, silica filler, and a tin octoate catalyst. They polymerize through a condensation reaction between the siloxane and silicate. Condensation silicones are widely used for dental impressions and bite registrations due to their elastic recovery, fluency, and stability over

ethyl alcohol.
The chemical reaction of a condensation silicone is as follows
silicate ortoalquílico
polydimethylsiloxane+ silicate ortoalquilico ----
polydimethyl siloxane + Alcohol

15. PROPERTIES:
. The working time of the silicones is 2-
4 minutes less than the mercaptans
Polymerization time: 6-
3 minutes is comparatively less than the
mercaptans, the polymerization time can be
changed with
temperature temp. High polymerization acce
lerates
Dimensional Stability: Like other print
materials, condensationsilicones contract.
. Can be reduced using well
adapted trays with a thickness of 3 to 4mm.

16. . Elastic recovery: the recovery is
approximately 100% higher than virtually all
other elastic materials.
Fluency: compared with the mercaptans,
these materials are morerigid and therefore
have better flow.
Flexibility: inflexible compared to the
mercaptans and more flexible than the
polyesters
Toxicity of silicones are not toxic, however it
is recommended not to touch his hands and
not take material improperly
