Nano-modified silicone coatings significantly improve weather resistance and hardness by introducing nanomaterials (such as silica, silica sol, etc.). The core mechanism and specific methods are as follows:

‌1. Mechanism and technology for enhancing weather resistance‌
‌UV shielding and reflection‌
Nano-silica (SiO₂) forms a dense nano-shielding layer to reflect or absorb ultraviolet rays (300–400 nm band), reduce the damage of ultraviolet light to the chemical bonds of the resin, and increase the weather resistance of the coating to more than 600 hours (conventional coatings are about 350 hours).

The three-dimensional mesh structure of silica sol (CY-S01) shields more than 90% of ultraviolet rays, and the gloss retention rate of the coating still reaches 85% after 2000 hours of accelerated aging.

‌Optimize the microstructure of the coating‌
Nano-silica sol fills the pores of the coating to form an inorganic-organic interpenetrating network structure, reduces the penetration of moisture and pollutants, and improves anti-pollution and self-cleaning capabilities.

After modification of silicone resin, the side chain groups decompose and reorganize into a stable siloxane skeleton at high temperature, further improving weather resistance.

‌Second, the core way to improve hardness‌
‌Nano particles enhance crosslinking density‌
Nano SiO₂ (particle size 10–20 nm) is used as a high-hardness filler (Mohs hardness 7), which crosslinks with silicone resin to form a dense coating, increasing the hardness to 7H (Mitsubishi pencil test).

Adding 3%–5% nano SiO₂ can significantly increase the hardness of the photocured coating.
‌Strengthening microscopic bonding‌

The active hydroxyl groups (-OH) on the surface of silica sol form hydrogen bonds or chemical bonds with the substrate, and the interfacial bonding strength reaches 8–10 MPa, which is 3 times higher than that of traditional coatings.

Nano SiO₂ sol (such as CY-S01B) enhances coating adhesion through chemical bonding, while improving wettability and reducing surface defects.

3. Synergistic modification technology optimizes comprehensive performance‌
‌Composite nanomaterials enhance efficiency‌
Graphene-modified silica nano coating combines the conductivity of graphene with the compactness of nano-SiO₂, and simultaneously improves corrosion resistance and hardness.

Nano-Fe₂O₃ is compounded with silicone sealant to enhance thermal stability and maintain high elasticity.

‌Process parameter control‌
Organic silicone resin accounts for 15%–30%, and the curing temperature is 180–220℃, which can balance hardness and toughness.

The optimal addition amount of nano-silica sol is 3%. Excessive addition may cause agglomeration and affect performance.
