1. Wamphamvu adsorption mphamvu ndi mofulumira mayamwidwe liwiro.
2. Zosavuta kugwiritsa ntchito, zinyalala zochepa, zosavuta kuyeretsa.
3. Mlingo wachuma.
4. Zotetezeka kugwiritsa ntchito, zobiriwira zoteteza chilengedwe.
5. Wokongola komanso wowolowa manja, wosavuta kuvomerezedwa ndi ziweto.
6. Chotsani fumbi, kuti pasakhale fumbi pansi.
7. Kukhala aukhondo kwambiri, kumalepheretsa kukula kwa mabakiteriya, ndikupangitsa chilengedwe kukhala chaukhondo.
8. Mphamvu yamphamvu yochotsa fungo, kudzera mu mawonekedwe a kuyamwa chinyezi kuteteza kufalikira kwa fungo.
Mapangidwe a maselo ndi mSiO2.nH2o.Insoluble m'madzi ndi zosungunulira zilizonse, zopanda poizoni komanso zopanda pake, zokhazikika pamakina, kupatula zamchere zolimba, hydrofluoric acid sichimachita ndi chinthu chilichonse.Mapangidwe a mankhwala ndi mawonekedwe a thupi la gel osakaniza a silika amatsimikizira kuti ali ndi makhalidwe ambiri omwe ndi ovuta kuwasintha ndi zipangizo zina zofananira: mawonekedwe apamwamba a adsorption, kukhazikika kwabwino kwa kutentha, kukhazikika kwa mankhwala, mphamvu zamakina apamwamba ndi katundu wamphamvu wa hygroscopic.
Kuphatikiza pa kuyika pakukula kwa zinthu zoyeretsera ziweto, zinyalala zamphaka za silicone zitha kugwiritsidwanso ntchito kwambiri posungira ndi kunyamula zida, mita, zida ndi zida, zikopa, matumba, nsapato, nsalu, chakudya, mankhwala, ndi zina. Chinyezi chachifupi cha chilengedwe ndi kuteteza zinthu ku chinyezi, mildew ndi dzimbiri
