What is silicone resin?
Silicone resin is smaller known from the three main subgroups of silicone products that include silicone rubber and fluids. Silicone resins are complex, strongly branched oligosiloxans produced by exposure to various silicone precursors of hydrolytic condensation. The end product is available in the form of flakes and solvent -based liquids without solvents. Silicone resin is an extremely versatile and safe product, which has a range of uses in a wide range of industries where it is used as a binder, sealant, insulating agent or an ingredient resistant weather. Silicone resins show excellent electrical insulation, ultraviolet (UV) protection, water repel and heat -resistant properties. However, silicone resins are probably one of the most useful silicone families of products used in a number of industrial and domestic applications. Silicone resins are all formulated on the foundations of siloxan compositions that show excellentBinding, heat and UVR resistant and isolative characteristics. These resins are available as solvent -based liquids or without solvent or in the form of a dry flake.
Some silicone resin formulations can withstand temperatures exceeding 1,380 ° Fahrenheit (750 degrees Celsius), which are ideal as binding substances used on boilers, fireplace components and automobial engines. These resins also have excellent properties of electrical insulation, which make it a good choice for engine winding, coil and resistor winding. Thanks to these insulating properties, silicone resin is a standard coating on electronic plates of circuits. Glass fiber -coated glass fibers are also widely used as an electric wire insulation.
High levels of adhesion and weatherproof found in silicone resin make them perfectAKU for a wide range of applications. Silicone resin shows very good resistance to ultraviolet light degradation and is a standard binder for colors with a high life used as protective coatings on external steel structures. Some levels of resin are also used as bases for anti-fauling colors used on boat torso. Their excellent water repellent properties are used in construction, where they are used as binders for many brick seals and external coatings. The quality of resistant resin resistant further increases these products because they do not become fragile or yellow with a lengthy exposure to the sun.
If the silicone resin is used and stored correctly, it is a safe product. Even during extreme overheating, the resin does not burn, distract or release harmful gases. However, these resins require the use of catalysts that require a certain degree of care to be applied when mixing products. Some of the products are also flammable overd by curing; The raw materials should be stored from fire, direct sunlight and chemical sources.
