By using these novel reactive silicones, formulators can develop more-durable solutions that enable customers to reduce system costs by extending the interval between recoating, and by keeping their tanks, pipelines, ships and other assets in service with less downtime.

The silicone-epoxy hybrid resin technology combines the positive effects of an aliphatic epoxy resin, like corrosion protection and chemical resistance, with the UV resistance and low yellowing characteristics of an alkoxy silicone resin.

The desire for lower-VOC coatings coupled with growing interest in daylighting to reduce building energy consumption are driving interest in low-VOC acrylic systems that deliver signature UV resistance while meeting the need for durability in high-traffic commercial and institutional architecture.

The Chaline series offers a hybrid emulsion with the surface activity of a silicone resin and the film-forming ability of an acrylic resin.
