Silicones have become indispensable additives and binders in the coating industry, valued for their unique combination of performance benefits. As key components, they enhance coating durability by forming a protective layer that resists UV radiation, extreme temperatures, and moisture, extending the service life of coated surfaces from architectural structures to industrial equipment. Silicones also improve surface properties: they reduce friction for anti-stick effects, boost scratch and chemical resistance, and create a smooth, glossy finish that maintains its appearance over time. Their low surface tension enables better substrate wetting, ensuring uniform application and adhesion even on challenging materials like plastics or metals.
