Rabara ya silikoni yamadzimadzi yakhala ikugulitsidwa kwazaka zopitilira 40, ndipo zotulutsa zake zikuchulukirabe pafupifupi 10% pachaka. Chifukwa cha zabwino zake zambiri monga kuthamanga kwachangu, kuchuluka kwa makina opanga zinthu komanso zowononga-kupanga kwaulere,ali ndi chizolowezi cholowa m'malo-akukhuthala kwambiri{1}}labala ya silikoni yotentha kwambiri komanso kutentha kwachipinda komwe kumatenthetsa mphira wa silikoni m'malo ambiri.
M'zaka 20 zapitazi, njira zazikulu zopangira mphira wamadzimadzi a silicone akhala akufulumizitsa liwiro lake lavulcanization ndikuwonjezera zinthu zosiyanasiyana. Mitundu yatsopanoyi ndi monga mphira wa sililicone wamadzimadzi wong'ambika kwambiri, wopanda positi-mankhwala, kukana kutentha, kuzizira, self-lubrication, mafuta resistance, self-adhesion, conductivity (anti-static) ndi flame retardancy.
