Epoksypolysiloksanpolymerblanding

摘要

Epoxy-polysiloxane polymer compositions of this invention are prepared by combining a resin component with a hardener component. The resin component comprises a non-aromatic epoxy resin ingredient and a polysiloxyne ingredient. The hardener component comprises an amine and optionally an organotin catalyst. The composition can also include aggregates, pigments and other additives depending on the particular end user. The composition is prepared using a sufficient amount of water to promote hydrolysis of the polysiloxane and the polycondensation of the silanols produced by such hydrolysis. In its cured form, the epoxy-polysiloxane composition exists as a uniformly dispersed arrangement of linear epoxy chain fragments that are cross-linked with a continuous polysiloxane polymer chain, thereby forming a non-interpenetrating polymer network chemical structure that has substantial advantages over conventional epoxy systems. Protective coatings forming from such compositions exhibit excellent weatherability in sunlight, and superior chemical and corrosion resistance after curing.
