A sprayable, trowelable epoxy polysiloxane based coating and flooring composition exhibiting excellent weatherability in sunlight and superior chemical, corrosion and impact resistance after curing is made up of: (a) a resin component which includes a non-aromatic epoxy resin having at least two 1,2-epoxy groups per molecule; a polysiloxane and an organooxysilane; (b) an difunctional aminosilane hardener component; (c) an organotin catalyst; and (d) an aggregate or pigment component. Organic solvents and flow modifying agents may be added to facilitate spray application. The resin component, hardener component, aggregate component and desired catalysts are combined in the presence of a sufficient amount of water to promote the hydrolysis of polysiloxane and/or organooxysilane and the polycondensation of the silanols produced by such hydrolysis. The aminosilane and epoxide resin react to form a cured linear epoxy polymer. The polysiloxane and/or organooxysilane undergo a hydrolysis reaction which produces silanol. The silanol undergoes polycondensation forming a linear epoxy-modified polysiloxane polymer. |
