Silicone resins can be used as binders for industrial coatings and marine paints, providing adhesion, durability, and protection. They can also function as film formers in personal care products to enhance wash-off resistance and water repellency.
Silicone resins consist of highly crosslinked networks with high silicon-oxygen bond energy, making them suitable for use in demanding environments. BRB's silicone resin and oligomer portfolio enables coating manufacturers to formulate products with specific performance characteristics, including hardness, flexibility, water, chemical, and weather resistance, as well as dielectric properties. Their thermal and UV resistance make silicone resins particularly suitable for protective coating applications.
BRB heat- and corrosion-resistant resins for the coating industry offer the following features:
- Balance of properties that support coating performance, appearance, and temperature resistance
- Compatibility with other organic-based resins
- Room-temperature curing (BRB Siloen® SR 833 Methyl Alkoxy Resin Oligomer)
- Heat, chemical, weather, and corrosion resistance
- Can be used in formulations designed to meet applicable industrial and international safety standards
For the personal care industry, BRB offers Trimethylsiloxysilicate-based resins for use in sunscreen, skin care, hair care, colour cosmetics, and antiperspirant formulations, where they can enhance wash-off resistance, water repellency, durability, and other formulation properties.
