Silicone additives can improve the production process of the coating, maintain the storage stability of the coating, improve its construction process, improve the quality of the product, and give the coating some special functions. It has become an indispensable component in the coating. Reasonable and correct selection of silicone additives can reduce costs and improve benefits. Silicone additives used in coatings mainly include silicone oil emulsions or dispersions, silicone elastomer emulsions or dispersions, silicone resins, organic resin modified silicone resins, silane coupling agents, alkyl or aryl alkoxy silanes, Fluorosilicone polymers, polyether modified silicones.. (silicone surfactants), etc., their effects in coatings are mainly leveling, scratch resistance, anti-sticking, pigment dispersion, smoothing, and special surface effects (Such as hammer pattern, etc.), hydrophobic, wetting, adhesion promotion, anti-adhesion, foam suppression, defoaming, bright or extinction. Different coating systems require different silicone additives; however, each silicone additive has multiple functions and can sometimes be used in other systems.
