Silicone-epoxy Coatings 2.0: Customized To Meet Your Needs

摘要

Silicone-epoxy coatings have long been utilized across a wide range of industry platforms. The dually functional resin and the aminosilane curative has provided formulators with the ability to meet performance demands associated with various industrial, marine, and military applications. Whether it is corrosion and chemical resistance, ultraviolet light stability, or mechanical toughness that is needed, silicone-epoxy coatings have proven to be adept in providing each of these traditional attributes. But as industry applications become more specialized, formulators need the ability to extend beyond traditional performance. This paper discusses alternate technologies that can be utilized within silicone-epoxy coatings to customize performance based on individual needs. Improved dry times, increased hardness or flexibility, and enhanced surface properties can all be achieved by altering the chemistry on either side of the coating. With the backbone chemistry remaining present, the traditional performance benefits will accompany each individual's custom requirements.
