Silicon-Based Block
Co-Polymer*
Perfect for extreme demanding applications and environments.
Uses include, but are not limited to: industrial coatings
and sealers, electrical wire insulation, medical devices,
corrosion control applications, bridge pylons, rail tank
cars, underground storage tanks, underwater tank and vessel
leak repair and more!
This technology is a novel silicone-based polymer available
in several formulations allowing it to be sprayed, poured,
caulked, solid panels, foamed (both chemical and syntactic)
and applied like a patching compound. It can be applied and
cures underwater. Biocompatible. Specialty products include
medical devices, coatings, sealants, fixatives, cabling
insulation just to mention a few. Significant advantages of
this polymer is its extreme radiation, weather and chemical
resistance, robust mechanical properties, good flame
resistance and thermal and chemical stability. When applied,
the final form of the polymer is flexible and thus resistant
to cracks, stresses and can be used on non-rigid surfaces in
coating and encapsulating applications.
While many polymeric coatings are two part systems requiring
mixing prior to application, this polymer is available as a
one part direct use system. Other forms are available in two
or three part systems. In three part systems, the third
component is typically an accelerator, depending on
application.
In coating form it can be sprayed using a standard airless
sprayer to form 30 to 40 mils in a single pass. This then
cures in several hours to form a rubber-like, solid coat. In
this form it is a one-part material curing with moisture
absorbed from the air. In very dry conditions and inside of
containers moisture can be added to facilitate the cure.
Handling is simple and safe. The one-part product has a long
shelf life. If the product is exposed to moisture during
storage, it will eventually form a skin of cured material.
This skin can be discarded and the material underneath the
skin is of the original quality.
A key requirement for material application in certain states
and at many regulated facilities is strict compliance with
environmental regulations. This technology contains no solid
hazardous ingredients that could become airborne and has a
very low Volatile Organic Content (VOC), reported at 36
grams per liter (g/l), which is excellent and well below a
typical maximum allowed of 350 g/l. No compliance issues
with respect to air quality regulations should be expected.
