Marine & Protective Coatings

WACKER offers a broad range of organic and inorganic binders and additives to enhance the durability and performance of marine and protective coatings.

Silicone-Based Solutions

SILRES^® organofunctional polysiloxanes serve as high-performance binders or curing agents in coating systems for single and top coats.

Benefits

Increased resistance to UV radiation, highly corrosive agents and chemicals
Increased durability
Easy-to-clean surfaces

SILRES^® intermediates can be used in the formulation of organopolysiloxane topcoats.

WACKER ethyl silicate binders bring excellent corrosion protection to zinc-dust coatings.

Benefits

Improved corrosion protection
Good weldability
Rapid curing at low temperatures
Overpaintability with all conventional paint systems

Elastomeric RTV-type silicones can be used as binders in marine foul-release coatings. WACKER also offers suitable siloxane polymers and crosslinkers for the formulation of these coatings.

Vinyl Chloride Co- and Terpolymers

VINNOL^® surface-coating resins containing carboxyl groups are ideal for formulating primers, corrosion-protection paints and highly filled marine paints.

Benefits

Excellent metal adhesion
High resistance to acids, alkalis and salt solutions
Good pigment wetting
Low water absorption

“We Help Innovate – With Product Know-How and Applications Support”

Coating producers always want to supply higher-performance formulations and to provide fresh impetus through regular product innovations. At the same time, the products have to comply with increasingly stricter environmental demands. How can the experts at Wacker Chemie be of assistance here? An interview with the Industrial Coatings team.

Heat Shield for Cookware

Hybrid coatings based on organic polymers and silicones protect pans, exhaust pipes and wood-burning stoves equally well, and silicone resins add a special degree of heat resistance to such coatings.
