Case History<br>Silicone Elastomeric Coating Stops Leaks, Saves Building Owner $1 Million

October 1, 2003

The owners of a five-story office building near downtown Austin, Texas, have been spared the need to replace the structure’s brick masonry curtain walls through the use of an innovative elastomeric coating to seal the face of the building.

In this webinar, we will demonstrate how silane and silicone technologies can modify polyaspartic chemistries to increase performance characteristics of traditional metal coating finishes. In particular, we will highlight technical capabilities of glycolic silane technology that can enable coating system formulations to be virtually free of latent alcohol or other VOC emissions.

This webinar will discuss the different chemistries of fluorosurfactants and other additives and how this affects their performance in coatings. Fluorosurfactants are multifunctional and direct one-for-one replacement is rarely possible, but careful selection of additive combinations can achieve comparable performance in different coatings formulations.
