LK-Q1000PHMX
Alkoxy functional methyl phenyl silicone resin for heat resistant coatings.
Innovative silicone resin for heat resistant coatings
The LK-Q1000PHMX is a methyl phenyl silicone resin with alkoxy functionality 60% in xylene. Typical heat-resistant paint formulations contain a variety of organic resins as a binder and can only withstand heat up to 150–200 °C. Such paint formulations must include silicone resins LK-Q1000PHMX as an essential ingredient in order to boost their capability for heat resistance up to 600 °C.
In heat-resistant formulations, inorganic pigments such as black oxide or aluminum oxide can cure at room temperature tack-free in 30 minutes and harden in 24 hours. Heat up to 150°C for one hour in order to cure immediately.
The film adhesion on the panels remains intact even after four cycles of quenching at 600°C, each lasting one hour at that temperature.
Key features of methyl phenyl silicone resin:
- High heat resistant (600 ℃ with black and aluminium pigments).
- Excellent weather and corrosion resistant.
- Improved flexibility and good solvent resistant.
- Both air dry and heat dry curing possible.
- Excellent colour retention and gloss finish.
- Good adhesion over the heat.

Frequently asked questions:
What type of product is LK-Q1000PHMX resin?
This product is classified as an alkoxy methyl phenyl silicone resin.
What is methyl phenyl silicone resin?
Methyl phenyl silicone resin is a type of silicone-based polymer composed of methyl and phenyl groups attached to a silicon-oxygen (Si–O) backbone. The presence of phenyl groups enhances the resin’s thermal stability, flexibility, and compatibility with organic materials compared to standard methyl silicone resins.
These resins are commonly used in high-performance coatings, electrical insulation, heat-resistant paints, and adhesives. Their key properties include:
Excellent thermal stability
Good weather and UV resistance
Electrical insulation properties
Strong adhesion to various substrates
Methyl phenyl silicone resins are ideal for applications that demand durability under harsh environmental or high-temperature conditions.
