PLEASE HELP ME! Do u know the differences between silicone, e-PTFE and Gore-Tex?

Differences between Silicone, expanded polytetrafluoroethylene and Gore-Tex are:





No mug answer please.

Gore tex is: a synthetic waterproof fabric permeable to air and water vapor, used in outdoor and sports clothing.





ePTFE is: a tough translucent synthetic resin made by polymerizing tetrafluoroethylene, chiefly used to make seals and bearings and to coat nonstick cooking utensils.





Silicone is: any of a class of synthetic materials that are polymers with a chemical structure based on chains of alternate silicon and oxygen atoms, with organic groups attached to the silicon atoms. Such compounds are typically resistant to chemical attack and insensitive to temperature changes and are used to make rubber, plastics, polishes, and lubricants.

Forgive me, but I don't really know why you ask this question in this category (these seem more at home in a DIY section than beauty). Out of the three, only Gore-Tex is breathable, which is why you find it in high-end raincoats (so that moisture from your skin can escape to the atmosphere without letting rainwater pass through).


Silicone is the only one that you can get in liquid form. I've not seen it used for fashion as much as sealing around the edges of baths and showers.


e-PTFE... well I know that PTFE comes in tape form and can be used to pack out very small gaps, making it useful for ensuring a gas/watertight seal on screw threads. Not sure about its expanded cousin, but I'd guess it'd be light and a good insulator.


Not exactly sure how these all link together, especially in a fashion context, but I figured I could at least offset some of the useless answers. Hope it helps.
