SILIKOPON® EF is a silicone-epoxy hybrid binder system for ultra-high solids formulations with extraordinary gloss and color retention, and excellent corrosion and weather resistance. It has an extremely low VOC-content and forms the basis for isocyanate-free, 2-pack air-drying anticorrosion coatings. Furthermore, it is highly resistant to chemicals and has a low dirt pick up (easy to clean).
Silicone-epoxy systems represent a novel technology
for today's coatings formulator. The high crosslinking
density associated with these coatings exhibit strong
anti-corrosive characteristics. Due to the hydrophobic
nature of the resin, silicone-epoxy coatings display antifouling
and anti-icing properties.
Although the most common substrate for silicone-epoxy
coatings has traditionally been metal, recent studies
have shown benefit on wood, plastic, concrete and
masonry substrates. SILIKOPON® EF can be formulated
into a low VOC, corrosion and weather resistant coating.
These systems exhibit excellent dirt pickup resistance
and anti-graffiti properties. As you can see,
SILIKOPON® EF allows the formulation of low VOC
coatings without compromising properties associated
with traditional higher VOC systems.
