SILRES® BS, GENIOSIL® GF | Silane-Terminated Binder | Publication in "European Coatings Journal" PDF, 1.4 MB | English

Abstract: A novel stain protection concept was created by optimizing an α-silane-terminated polyether for use as a crosslinking binder in impregnation agents for cementbound floors. The new binder can be easily and safely incorporated into one-component formulations for impregnating cementitious flooring or for applying a thin coating to these substrates. The products are easy to apply and generate a visually appealing surface. After 24 hours, floors treated in this way can either be processed further, or can be walked or driven on. Initial tests indicate a very high level of resistance to stains can be achieved, accompanied by an intensification of the colour of the flooring and improved resistance to abrasion, making it suitable for a wide range of interior applications.

Silicone Resin Emulsion Paints: Tested on a “Living Object”

For us at WACKER, it’s always exciting to see how our products actually perform in real life. Consider, for example, silicone resin emulsion paint, which was first patented in 1963. In 2003, our colleague Dr. Heinz Geich decided to paint the exterior walls of his house with it. What does that look like 20 years later? Let’s have a look!
