Silicone resins and their combinations

Up to a few years ago, silicone binders were used mainly for formulating solvent-based coatings but they are now becoming increasingly important in water-based systems and UV-curing coatings. Water-based silicone resin paints are amongst the most modern exterior coatings systems. The present book gives a concentrated overview of the chemistry and technology of silicone resins and their use from an industrial point of view. The reader will find important background knowledge as well as information on current developments in the field of silicones for coatings. It also gives those approaching the subject for the first time an overview of the most important areas of application.
