Resins

Silicone resins offered by Athon are materials with different degrees of crosslinking, obtained from mono- (M), di- (D), tri- (T) and tetra-functional (Q) monomers. The presence of different organic groups, mainly methyl and phenyl, give the resins superior release properties, temperature resistance, film formation and other characteristics that make these materials extremely important in the formulation of special release agents and high temperature coatings, among other applications.

Athon MQ 893 Resin

DESCRIPTION

Athon MQ 893 Resin is a silicone resin dispersed in polydimethylsiloxane fluid, formulated for high release efficiency.

CHARACTERISTICS

•Good heat stability
•Water repellency superior to common silicone fluids
•Provides mold release and shine to formulations

APPLICATIONS

Athon MQ 893 Resin is usually diluted with solvent (1 part product to 10 parts solvent) prior to brushing or by spraying onto the mold. Suitable solvents: aliphatic, aromatic or chlorinated hydrocarbons.
Also used in product formulations for HomeCare and AutoCare, providing shine and fixation by film formation.

Athon MP 880 Resin

DESCRIPTION

Athon MP 880 Resin is a solution of methylphenyl silicone resin in xylene.

CHARACTERISTICS

•Good storage stability when mixed with zinc powder and aluminum pigments
•Easy to use
•Heat stability up to 650°C in combination with aluminum or micaceous iron pigments

APPLICATIONS

Applicable to all types of heat resistant paints. It is the material of choice for anticorrosive coatings in engine parts, furnaces, chimneys, exhaust systems, boilers, ovens and oven parts, grills, electric and gas heaters, incinerators.
For temperatures above 250°C, the organic groups of silicone resins begin to degrade. After all silicone resin organic components have pyrolytically degraded, the remaining product changes to an inorganic stoichiometric composition of (SiO2)n. It is this layer that securely adheres the pigments and fillers to the coated substrate.
Any heat-stable inorganic pigments may be used:
•White, silver, black and colored ones
•Aluminum pigments provide the best heat resistance, up to 600°C
•Black pigments up to 500°C
•Mica and talc can be used as fillers

Recommendations for proper use:
• It is necessary to ensure adequate dispersion of pigments and fillers in the paint
• Sandblasting and degreasing of the substrate are recommended
• The paint can be made by spraying, immersion or brushing
• The product dries completely at room temperature, promoting temporary protection against corrosion
• The optimum mechanical properties and oil resistance are obtained after temperature treatment (eg 200°C for 1 hour)
• The recommended dry film thickness is between 15 and 25μm
