Silicone additives are extremely efficient — even dosages below 1% can greatly improve leveling, slip, and flow due to their low surface tension and migration to the surface. With precise formulation control, Silico® silicone additives deliver performance enhancement without compromising coating adhesion or stability.

In general, optimized levels of silicone additives do not negatively impact intercoat adhesion. However, excessive use may reduce bonding strength. Silico® provides tailored silicone solutions and formulation guidance to ensure optimal compatibility and adhesion across multilayer paint systems.

Silico® silicone-based coatings exhibit outstanding resistance to UV radiation, heat, corrosion, and oxidation. They maintain flexibility, gloss, and protection over wide temperature ranges (from −50 °C to +600 °C), making them ideal for industrial, architectural, and automotive applications requiring long-term durability.

Yes. Silico® silicone coatings can be applied over many surfaces including metal, concrete, and previous coating layers — provided proper cleaning, surface preparation, or primer treatment is performed. Our silane coupling agents further improve adhesion between the silicone layer and the substrate for maximum longevity.

Absolutely. Silico® silicone additives are designed to control surface tension and promote uniform film formation, eliminating issues like cratering, orange peel, or fisheyes. They also enhance wetting and leveling, resulting in a smoother and more uniform coating surface.

Yes. Silico® ORGANOSILICON additives and resins are formulated for full compatibility with solventborne, waterborne, and low-VOC systems, maintaining excellent slip, anti-foaming, and weather resistance while meeting global environmental and sustainability standards.

Silico® silicones are ideal for architectural paints, industrial coatings, automotive finishes, marine coatings, and specialty applications. They improve surface protection, chemical resistance, gloss retention, and hydrophobicity — ensuring high-performance coatings with extended service life.
