This is the fascinating moment a silicone mixing process was demonstrated at a factory.

Footage shows a worker applying white and red pigments onto smooth metal rollers to combine with a block of silicone in Ningbo, China.

The employee, wearing clear plastic gloves, gradually blends the colours into the substance using the rotating rollers. She then carefully adjusts the materials by repeatedly cutting them in half before refolding them into a roll.

She continues the process until the silicone turns into a uniform, vibrant red silicone sheet.

Silicone is valued for its ability to stay stable in different conditions, resist electricity, and remain flexible across a wide range of temperatures. These qualities make it useful in many areas, such as the medical field, industry, automotive, food production, home repair, and more.

Its wide range of applications in fields such as medicine, food, electronics, and even clothing highlights its importance in both everyday items and advanced technology.
