Fluorinated Methyl Silicone Resin
Fluorinated Methyl Silicone Resin is a durable resin with added fluoroalkyl groups, offering low surface energy, strong heat and chemical resistance, and good insulation. It’s ideal for anti-fouling, waterproof, and heat-resistant coatings in harsh environments.
Product Overview
Fluorinated Methyl Silicone Resin is a high-performance hybrid resin synthesized by grafting fluoroalkyl functional groups onto a methyl MQ silicone resin framework. This unique molecular structure provides an exceptional combination of low surface energy, thermal and chemical resistance, weatherability, and dielectric strength.
Engineered for anti-fouling, superhydrophobic, solvent-resistant, and heat-resistant coating applications, this resin offers long-term protection and performance in aggressive environments such as marine, aerospace, electronics, chemical processing, and automotive.Technical Specifications

Key Features & Benefits
Superior Heat and Chemical Resistance
Withstands extreme temperatures and chemical exposure. Suitable for coatings exposed to oils, fuels, solvents, acids, alkalis, and atmospheric pollutants.
Low Surface Energy & Anti-Fouling Properties
Fluorinated segments drastically reduce surface tension, enabling self-cleaning, anti-graffiti, and anti-icing behavior.
Outstanding Hydrophobicity
Produces water-repellent surfaces with high contact angles (>110°), offering excellent moisture and corrosion resistance.
Excellent Electrical Insulation
Maintains high dielectric strength and low dielectric constant under humidity and high-voltage conditions—ideal for electronic varnishes and insulating coatings.
Enhanced Mechanical Properties
Forms tough, abrasion-resistant films with improved adhesion and flexibility on substrates such as metal, ceramic, glass, and composites.
Low VOC & Environmentally Friendly
Available in solvent-free or low-VOC versions to meet global environmental regulations and sustainable coating requirements.
