Hydroxy-functional silicone resin

Introducing LK-Q1018: A High-Performance Silicone Resin for Extreme Conditions

LK-Q1018 Resin Intermediate is a Hydroxy-functional silicone resin available in flaked solid form, engineered to enhance the performance, durability, and visual appeal of coatings used in high-temperature and demanding environmental conditions.
This resin is ideal for high-temperature applications due to its high phenyl content, which provides exceptional durability and maintains film integrity even after five quenching cycles at 650°C, each lasting one hour.
It is air-dry at room temperature but achieves complete crosslinking when heat-cured at 180°C for 30 minutes. When formulated with inorganic pigments, it enhances the heat resistance, adhesion, and anti-corrosive properties of the coating, making it suitable for industrial and protective applications.

Key Features:

  • Reacts with alkyds, phenolic, epoxies, polyesters and other organic resinous materials containing hydroxyl groups.
  • Contributes to good thermal and weathering resistance
  • Exhibit good chalk resistance
  • Gives better shine and gloss
  • High-temperature finishes
  • Used in powder coating applications where improved weather ability and heat resistance
