crystilogic:

‘A Cool Cat’, photo by John Zimmerman from Giant Molecules by Herman F. Mark (Life Science Library 1966/1968) (my book), Time-Life’s guide to the exciting new world of industrial plastics & polymers. ‘Perched atop a 4,000° F. flame, this kitten is protected from the heat by a slab of silicone called RTV 615, a transparent rubber that resists intense heat by an unusual process called ablation—a slow, layer-by-layer decomposition.’
