Advantages of Siloxane Coatings over Traditional Organic Coatings
| » |
The Si-O bond is very stable and resistant to attack by atmospheric oxygen even at very high temperatures. Organic polymers will oxidize and degrade under these conditions. |
| » |
The Si-O bond is unaffected by Ultraviolet radiation resulting in excellent weatherability exceeding any organic polymer. |
| » |
Siloxanes have very low viscosities so they can be formulated to very high solids and low VOCs. |
| » |
Siloxanes are hydrophobic, do not require isocyanates for curing, and have excellent compatibility with inorganic substrates. |
