Description
Summary:Recent developments in the chemistry of silicone and fluorine materials for coatings applications present exciting opportunities from the synergistic effect of these two chemistry sets. The introduction of hydrosilylation-cure fluorine resin technology for coatings applications can significantly broaden the range of applications where this technology could be applied. Fast and low-temperature cure, hardness, flexibility, weatherability, chemical resistance, and adhesion properties are some key performance enhancements achieved with this new technology. Existing and new coatings -market segments, including construction, chemical process industry, automotive and electronics, are a few of the applications where improved surface performance is required. These hydrosilylation-curable fluoro-polymer resins can be cured quickly at low temperature, providing significant cost savings and process application flexibility to the coating application process.
