Multifunctional Coatings

By introducing functional siloxane groups in an organic polymer and subsequent polymerization of those siloxane groups by sol-gel reactions, organic-inorganic hybrid coatings can be obtained. These coatings have a covalent interaction between organic and inorganic fraction that gives it great consistency and special properties:

• High hardness.
  
• Durability against UV, hydrolysis, solvents.
  
• Anti-fouling paints for ships.
  
• Increased resistance and temperature stability.
  
• Corrosion resistance.
  
• Electrical permittivity.
  
• Ceramic glass
