Quelle European Coatings Journal Ausgabe 10/2001 Sole t2 Vincentz Verlag Ultra heat-resistant silicone resin coating Exceptional durability, heat resistance, very high water vapour permeability and a hydrophobic effect are the character- istic properties of costings produced on the basis of silicone resins. Apart from being used as binders for exterior paints, impregnating agents for mineral substrates and renders, silicone resins are used for the formulation of anticorrosive coatings, marine coatings and glass coatings. One interesting application is the production of cooking utensil coatings with outstanding non-stick properties. Silicone resins are used, inter alla, in the form of organic solutions, silicone resin emulsions and silicone resin powders.
