silicone

In chemistry terms the difference between silicone and siliceous

is that silicone is any of a class of inert, semi-inorganic polymeric compounds (polysiloxanes), that have a wide range of thermal stability and extreme water repellence, used in a very wide range of industrial applications, and in prosthetic replacements for body parts while siliceous is of, relating to, consisting of, or resembling silica or silicates.
