Formulating High-Temperature Coatings with Waterborne Silicone Resin Emulsions
Watch On Demand: Formulating High-Temperature Coatings with Waterborne Silicone Resin Emulsions
Silicone-based polymers and additives are renowned for their durability and resistance to heat, UV, and chemicals. In markets demanding high-temperature resistance up to 600˚C, such as automotive and industrial coatings, cross-linked silicone resins with phenyl functionality are the go-to choice for optimal performance and hardness. Traditionally, these coatings are solvent-based, relying on solutions in xylene or toluene, which often exceed volatile regulatory limits and are unsustainable. Creating solvent-free silicone resins is challenging due to their high viscosity and reactivity. Additionally, producing waterborne emulsions or dispersions is difficult because of their high reactivity in water and lack of shelf stability.
In this webinar we will introduce a new silicone resin emulsion that addresses these challenges, enabling the formulation of waterborne and low-VOC coatings. Our model formulations, incorporating pigments like titanium dioxide, iron oxide, and aluminum, are easy to process, exhibit excellent application profiles, and become tack-free at room temperature quickly. After thermal curing above 150˚C, these coatings demonstrate superior thermal resistance, hardness, adhesion, and corrosion resistance. Register now to learn about this innovative solution and its transformative impact on high-temperature coatings.
