Benefits of SILRES® Resins and Intermediates
Effects:
- Protection against extreme heat and rapid temperature changes
- Excellent resistance to UV and weathering
- Versatile styling combined with high functionality
Applications:
SILRES® silicone resins make ideal binders for:
- Heat-resistant coatings for exhaust and engine parts
- Heat-resistant exterior paints in the chemical and petrochemical industries
- Decorative and functional coatings for stoves, fireplaces and barbecues
- Weatherable topcoats, e.g. for high-performance steel structures, such as bridges or buildings and offshore platforms in highly corrosive environments
SILRES® intermediates greatly enhance the heat and weathering resistance of organic binders. The resulting optimized coatings are used for:
- Weatherable coil-coating finishes, e.g. for roofing
- Heat-resistant decorative coatings for pots and pans and kitchen appliances such as toasters, waffle irons, etc.
