About Silicone Resins FAQs
Silicone resins are highly crosslinked, thermosetting organopolysiloxane materials composed of siloxane units (typically M, Q, D, and T). Unlike silicone oils (fluids) or elastomers, silicone resins form hard, thermally stable films with excellent adhesion, weather resistance, and dielectric strength. They are widely used in coatings, adhesives, and electronic encapsulation applications requiring high-temperature endurance and long-term durability.
MQ resins consist of monofunctional (M) and tetrafunctional (Q) units, forming compact, rigid networks used in hard coatings and powders.
DT resins are based on difunctional (D) and trifunctional (T) units, yielding flexible, high-thermal-stability polymers ideal for insulation.
MDT resins incorporate M, D, and T units, balancing flexibility, crosslink density, and thermal resistance—perfect for LED potting, UV coatings, and adhesives.
Vinyl silicone resins enable multiple curing options (thermal, UV, or platinum-catalyzed), allowing flexibility in processing and end-use performance.
Phenyl silicone resins offer superior oxidative and thermal stability, especially for applications above 250 °C.
Modified silicone resins (e.g., epoxy, acrylate, fluorinated) provide enhanced adhesion, UV-curability, corrosion resistance, or anti-fouling properties, making them suitable for specialized coatings, electronics, and marine uses.
For high-temperature coatings (≥400 °C), we recommend Silico® Phenyl MQ or Phenyl DT resins due to their excellent thermal resistance, film integrity, and adhesion to metal substrates. For additional weatherability or chemical resistance, a fluorinated or epoxy-modified resin may be appropriate.
Yes. Silico® silicone resins can be blended with alkyd, epoxy, polyester, or acrylic systems, depending on the resin type. Curing mechanisms include thermal baking, UV curing, or hydrosilylation (for vinyl or hydrogen-functional resins). Technical data sheets (TDS) and formulation guides are available upon request.

How to Choose the Right Silicone Resins？
Selecting the right silicone resin depends on application needs, thermal requirements, and cure method.
Use MQ resins for hard coatings and powder formulations.
Choose MDT or DT resins for flexibility, electrical insulation, and heat resistance.
Select vinyl-functional resins for UV or thermal curing systems.
Opt for phenyl resins in high-temperature or oxidative environments.
Use modified resins (epoxy, acrylic, fluorinated) for enhanced adhesion, durability, or chemical resistance.
Explore Silico® grades by structure, functionality, or end-use industry for optimal results.
