Silicone 450 hair styling iron has three patented silicone bars that hold and guide strands to finish in one pass, saving valuable time. The Silicone bars also protect your hair from direct contact of the heat of the plates. Cuticles are sealed tighter to provides a shiny, sleek finish.
Ferrosilicon is produced by reduction of silica or sand with coke in the presence of iron. Typical sources of iron are scrap iron or millscale. Ferrosilicons with silicon content up to about 15% are made in blast furnaces lined with acid fire bricks.[2]
Ferrosilicons with higher silicon content are made in electric arc furnaces.[2] The usual formulations on the market are ferrosilicons with 15%, 45%, 75%, and 90% silicon. The remainder is iron, with about 2% consisting of other elements like aluminium and calcium. An overabundance of silica is used to prevent formation of silicon carbide. Microsilica is a useful byproduct.
A mineral perryite is similar to ferrosilicon, with its composition Fe5Si2. In contact with water, ferrosilicon may slowly produce hydrogen. The reaction, which is accelerated in the presence of base, is used for hydrogen production. The melting point and density of ferrosilicon depends on its silicon content, with two nearly-eutectic areas, one near Fe2Si and second spanning FeSi2-FeSi3 composition range.
Ferrosilicon is used as a source of silicon to reduce metals from their oxides and to deoxidize steel and other ferrous alloys. This prevents the loss of carbon from the molten steel (so called blocking the heat); ferromanganese, spiegeleisen, calcium silicides, and many other materials are used for the same purpose.[5] It can be used to make other ferroalloys. Ferrosilicon is also used for manufacture of silicon, corrosion-resistant and high-temperature-resistant ferrous silicon alloys, and silicon steel for electromotors and transformer cores. In the manufacture of cast iron, ferrosilicon is used for inoculation of the iron to accelerate graphitization. In arc welding, ferrosilicon can be found in some electrode coatings.
Magnesium ferrosilicon is instrumental in the formation of nodules, which give ductile iron its flexible property. Unlike gray cast iron, which forms graphite flakes, ductile iron contains graphite nodules, or pores, which make cracking more difficult.
The method has been in use since World War I. Prior to this, the process and purity of hydrogen generation relying on steam passing over hot iron was difficult to control.[6] The chemical reaction uses sodium hydroxide (NaOH), ferrosilicon, and water (H2O). While in the "silicol" process, a heavy steel pressure vessel is filled with sodium hydroxide and ferrosilicon, and upon closing, a controlled amount of water is added; the dissolving of the hydroxide heats the mixture to about 200 F (93 C) and starts the reaction; sodium silicate, hydrogen and steam are produced.[7] The overall reaction of the process is believed to be:[2][note 1]
Ferrosilicon is used by the military to quickly produce hydrogen for balloons by the ferrosilicon method. The generator may be small enough to fit in a truck and requires only a small amount of electric power, the materials are stable and not combustible, and they do not generate hydrogen until mixed.[8]
- Before using your skillets for the first time, hand-wash with hot water. Using soap may remove the pre-seasoning. Dry immediately and thoroughly to prevent rust.

- Before using your skillets for the first time, hand-wash with hot water. Using soap may remove the pre-seasoning. Dry immediately and thoroughly to prevent rust.
- Your skillets have been pre-seasoned prior to shipment from the factory and do not need to be seasoned. However, for best results, you may apply a light coating of cooking oil inside the skillets before each use. This will ensure the skillets remain properly seasoned and prevent rusting.
- Note: Seasoning is a coat of oil baked onto the cast iron skillets at a high temperature, which provides easy-release properties to the skillets. Cooking foods with fat and/or using oil will continue to season the skillets over time.
- To re-season the skillets, apply a high smoke point cooking oil over the entire surface, then heat in the oven for an hour at 350F (176C). To catch excess oil, place a baking sheet on the oven rack below the skillets. The skillets are ready to use once cooled. You may wipe off any excess oil remaining on the skillets.
- To best preserve the skillets, we recommend using silicone, nylon, bamboo or wood utensils when cooking. You may use metal utensils once the skillets are well seasoned after many uses. Re-season as necessary.
- Cook using low to medium heat only. The use of high heat is unnecessary, as cast iron is an excellent conductor of heat and effectively retains temperature.
- If using on a ceramic glass cooktop, always lift (do not slide) when moving to avoid scratching the cooktop.
- Keep the skillets on the burner only during the necessary time for cooking. Do not overheat an empty skillet.
- Your skillets are oven-safe up to 500F (260C) without silicone grips and 450F (232C) with silicone grips. Silicone grips will be hot to touch if used in oven. Only place silicone grip on unheated skillet handle. Do not attempt to place silicone grip on hot skillet handle. Do not use with silicone grips under an oven broiler unit.
- Always use oven mitts when handling hot skillets.
- Avoid sudden temperature changes such as immersing hot skillets in cold water. Always let the skillets cool before washing.
Cleaning
- Hand-wash only: We recommend hand-washing and drying the skillets to preserve the seasoning. You may use mild, soapy water if you dry and oil your skillet immediately after washing. Metal scouring pads will remove seasoning.
- To maintain seasoning, lightly rub cooking oil over the entire skillet after drying thoroughly.
- Avoid cooking acidic foods, such as tomatoes, in the skillets as this may damage the seasoning and give the food a metallic taste. However, after a few uses and consistent seasoning, you may safely cook acidic foods in the skillets.
- Thoroughly dry the silicone grip before replacing on skillet handle to prevent rust.

The Iron Rest provides a place to rest your iron safely while rearranging fabric on your ironing board. And, resting your iron on its soleplate is safer and steadier than resting it on its heel, especially if you are working on a wobbly ironing board.
You can set the iron flat for a moment instead of having to stand it up. Use it to let your iron cool down on the pad, or even put it down flat for longer periods of time. The raised dots of the Iron Rest will cool your iron faster.
ELASTOSIL COLOR PASTE FL RED IRON OXIDE RAL 3013 is a ready-to-use masterbatch comprising specific pigments and reactive silicone polymers which are commonly used to produce ELASTOSIL liquid silicone rubber.
This ensures a homogeneous covulcanization of the color paste without significant impairment of the physical properties (e.g. hardness) and without migration as it may be observed for systems based on silicone oil.
The colors have generally a good resistance to sunlight, UV and hot air. The resistance should be checked for individual cases, especially for long term applications. If the dosage recommendations are followed, the mechanical properties of the colored vulcanizates will not be significantly impaired.
ELASTOSIL COLOR PASTE FL RED IRON OXIDE RAL 3013 may be used for coloring silicone parts intended for sensitive applications and complying with the Recommendation XV. Silicones" and IX. Pigments for coloring plastics" of the BfR and FDA Regulation CFR 21 177.2600 "Rubber Articles Intended for Repeated Use" under observance of any given limitations on extractable and volatile substances. Please see the actual Product Compliance Sheet of this product and/or the separate Food Contact Statement for detailed information about food contact including information about any limitation in view of dosage and/or condition of use that may apply for this product.
A statement regarding biocompatibility according to USP class VI is available on request. Please note that biocompatibility testing has been performed for post-cured LSR test specimen containing 4 % color paste.
Before using ELASTOSIL COLOR PASTES FL, the paste must be thoroughly stirred. This is also required if there has been a long interruption in production. It may be necessary to repeat this procedure in case of very long production runs.
Depending on the color intensity desired, 0.5 to 4.0 % pigment paste should be added, the usual dosage being 2 %. Generally, the dosage should be kept at a minimum. In individual cases, an excess of color paste may slow down the curing characteristics. Customers may produce other colors by mixing pigment pastes. Suggestions for formulations can be provided on request.
