 Silicones for Acrylic Resin Modification

Shin-Etsu can provide a number of products suitable for modification of various types of acrylic resins,
including water-based, solvent-based and UV-cure products. These function in various ways and can
be used to improve durability (by improving adhesion to substrates, light resistance and heat
resistance), for surface modification (e.g. by imparting water repellency and increasing hardness),
or for reducing viscosity or increasing fill factor (by improving dispersion of fillers).

 Silicones for Epoxy Resin Modification

Shin-Etsu manufactures a range of products suitable for modification of epoxy resins used for coating,
molding and other applications. These function in various ways and can be used to improve adhesion
to substrates, improve durability (through improved light and heat resistance), and improve
mechanical properties (e.g. by reducing cure shrinkage and relieving stress), and for reducing viscosity
or increasing fill factor (by improving dispersion of fillers).

 UV Cure Silicone Products

UV Addition Cure Type Liquid Silicone Rubber KER-4690-A/B

KER-4690-A/B is a UV addition cure type liquid silicone rubber.

Features
●The material loses its stickiness and becomes non-flowable after a few minutes of UV exposure.
●Visible light to wavelength 250nm is transmissive before and after cured.
●In the curing process this material is curable under room temperature.
User does not need to be concerned about volume expansion.
