Discover the World of Silicon Chemicals

On March 27, 2026, CMC Research is hosting a highly informative online seminar titled "Understanding the Basics and Applications of Silicon Chemical Products - A Systematic Study from Silicon to Silicone". This event will provide valuable insights from renowned instructor Shigeru Koshibe, President of iPack Co., Ltd. The seminar aims to demystify the complexities surrounding silicon-based chemical products, which are frequently misunderstood in everyday contexts.

Understanding the Basics of Silicon Chemistry

Silicon, represented by the symbol Si, is abundant on Earth and plays a crucial role in various industries through silicon chemical products. These products can be categorized into inorganic (like silicon) and organic types (like silicone). Typical everyday organic products, often seen in items like soft contact lenses and sealants, are based on silicone. On the other hand, the main inorganic product, silicon, is extensively used in advanced fields including semiconductors.

Despite their widespread use, comprehensive information about these silicon chemical products is often lacking, leading to confusion among consumers. Certain terms are frequently misapplied in society; for instance, the common mistake of referring to silicone-based products as silicon-based. This seminar seeks to systematically explain the fundamental information regarding silicon chemistry and its relevant technologies, linking the basics to applications in various sectors.
