Newly designed low-viscosity oligomers allow the formulation of UV-curable soft-touch coatings without the need for solvent or water diluents.

Reactive siloxane telechelic and macromeric siloxanes with their intrinsic physical properties and control of structure are now able to extend the range of performance for both urethane- and silicone-based positive tactile interaction coatings.

In this article we report on the development of a tin-free aqueous silicone gum dispersion from early tin-based compositions.

AkzoNobel has developed breakthrough coatings technology that enables soft, tactile finishes to be applied to consumer electronics using lighter shades such as white and silver.
