The commercial success of silicone resins in the field of high-temperature-resistant coatings is based on their special properties. Alongside the classic heat-curing systems, ambient-curing systems are enjoying ever greater success.
The silicone-epoxy hybrid resin technology combines the positive effects of an aliphatic epoxy resin, like corrosion protection and chemical resistance, with the UV resistance and low yellowing characteristics of an alkoxy silicone resin.
SILRES® WH, a novel silicone resin emulsion for wood protection coatings, possesses hydrophobic properties that reliably protect wood outdoors against wet and damp conditions.
Wet-look enhancement is intended to provide a lasting, water-soaked appearance. Enhancing materials intensify existing substrate color and aesthetic appeal by making subdued tones and colors brighter.
While there may be a tendency to bemoan increased regulations, one can also reflect on the innovation that has been achieved as a result of these perceived and actual constraints.
Both the mechanical impact strength characteristics and resistance to atmospheric effects improve with increasing concentration of silicone elastomer particles.
