Evonik’s new brand SILIKOTOP promotes silicone hybrid resins which offers high solids content. The first two products, SILIKOTOP E 900 and SILIKOTOP E 901 excel in top coat application for diverse protective coatings ranging from marine to trucks and public transport to wood coatings.
"Both products offer extraordinary advantages in processability and appearance," the company says. "The very high solids content of 90% combined with a low viscosity help to formulate low VOC formulations that are easily processable. In terms of applicability, SILIKOTOP E 900 and SILIKOTOP E 901 enable film thicknesses of up to 200 µm in a single coating layer."
SILIKOTOP resins provide excellent corrosion protection, a remarkable appearance, as well as excellent leveling properties. The new SILIKOTOP resins differ mainly in flexibility/hardness and chemical resistance. SILIKOTOP E 900 shows a significantly enhanced flexibility with good tough-elasticity ensuring durability in heavy duty applications. SILIKOTOP E 901 promotes increased weather and chemical resistances, faster drying and a higher hardness in the cured film.
