Market Overview

Silicone coatings are preservative and protective coatings made with synthetic polymeric components. Silicone coatings are composed of silicones, a synthetic polymer family that includes silicon, oxygen, carbon, and hydrogen atoms. They are made by combining several polymers and resins as additives & binders. Solventless and solvent-based silicone coatings, as well as water-based and powder-based coatings, are all commonly available options. These coatings have several advantages, including weathering, high structural strength, and resistance to water, corrosion, and scratches. Silicon alternatives last longer and are more environmentally friendly than conventional coatings. They find widespread use in a variety of industries, including construction, electronics, automotive, chemical, maritime, and paper & pulp. Silicones, unlike organic polymers, have a unique molecular structure containing silicon, providing unique characteristics such as heat resistance, flexibility, and environmental resistance. They can be customized for various applications, contributing to their longevity and resistance to cracking and peeling. Additionally, silicone coatings are self-cleaning due to their low surface tension, making them ideal for applications requiring minimal maintenance. Silicone coatings offer thermal stability, and withstand high and cold temperatures, making them suitable for aerospace, automotive, & industrial environments, enhancing product longevity and efficiency.
