Resins, Binders and Film Formers
Boosting protection and performance across a broad range of industries and applications
Silicone and acrylic-based resins enable excellent adhesion, durability and protection when used as binders and film formers in paints, coatings, finishes and personal care products.
Enabling coatings that do more
Silicone resins are composed of highly crosslinked networks with high silicon-oxygen bond energy, making them stable in harsh environments. The breadth of the silicone resin portfolio allows formulators to tailor specific performance properties, including co-binder and diluent compatibility, hardness, flexibility, water resistance and dielectric properties. Their inherent thermal and UV resistance make them especially useful for protective coatings in demanding environments.
Providing versatility and flexibility
Acrylic resins are formed through the polymerization of the esters from acrylic or methacrylic acids along with various specialty acrylate monomers. These resins create a durable and highly UV resistant film making them ideal for use in architectural and industrial formulations to cover, protect and beautify a wide variety of substrates.
Beauty and Personal Care
Improving wash-off resistance, water repellency, durability and other performance attributes in sun, skin and hair care products; color cosmetics; and deodorants/antiperspirants.
Films, Tapes and Release Liners
Enabling pressure-sensitive adhesives and release coatings that provide exceptional performance over a range of application requirements.
Textiles, Leather and Nonwovens
Binders for printing, coating and back coating of textiles, resins for bonding nonwoven webs, top coat additives and fabric coatings. Durable water repellency for textile finishes.
Building, Construction and Infrastructure
Improving sustainability, durability and aesthetics of building materials and moisture, corrosion, temperature extremes and weathering resistance of architectural coatings.
Paints, Inks and Coatings
Acrylic, silicone, or co-polymer binder systems provide adhesion over a variety of substrates, superior film resistance properties, flexibility, durability, and enhances hiding while enabling low VOC and sustainable solutions necessary for today.
