Can any one tell me about silicon backing used in ladies garments? It looks and feels like the silicon gel you use to seal sinks etc. But it is obviously robust and permanent and can cope with machine wash etc. I would like to know about the material and how it is applied to a fabric /elasticated fabric. Many thanks.Opticsman
 
WACKER has a special brochure about textile applications of silicones including this one. It is usually a liquid silicone rubber. Try at .com
