A silicone film is attached to a surface by chemical bonding. The silicone film consists of chains of siloxane groups, each chain terminating in an end molecule which is either an ester, an ether, or a halogen. The end molecule is allowed to react with water to produce an OH group. The surface is then contacted with a capping agent which reacts with the OH group to produce a new end group which improves the properties of the film. A premix including a tertiary amine can be initially applied to the surface to react with any acidic molecules generated during the process, in order to form non-reactive and water-soluble amino salts.
