Coatings
Buildings and other structures need a layer of protection from elements in their environment. Whether natural or man-made hazards, silicones can play a major role in protecting these assets. With a multitude of formulations, silicones can provide:
  • Elastomeric coating that improves building aesthetics and performance
  • Hard coats for abrasion and chemical resistance in thermoplastics
  • Protective coating for buried or raised tanks
  • Water repellancy that penetrates exterior concrete and masonry surfaces
  • Weather resistant rubber cover over insulated foam roofs

Architectural CoatingArchitectural Coating
Architectural Coating Concrete, urethane foam, wood, copper, EIFS, aluminum and many painted surfaces require a layer of protection to resist fading. Silicones provide UV resistance, which allows the passage of water vapor yet offers excellent fade resistance.


Roof CoatingRoof Coating
Roof Coating Sprayed Polyurethane Foam (SPF) roofing systems require a membrane of protection that is available with spray-coated silicone sealants. The first layer protects the insulating polyurethane foam base. The second provides UV and extreme temperature-resistance. Together, they form a seamless rubber membrane that provides a tight water seal and years of superior performance.


Tank CoatingsTank Coating
Tank Coatings Horizontal or vertical storage tanks suffer exposure to a variety of elements. Silicones provide a layer of long-lasting protection with UV and fade resistance. We offer an elastomeric, one-component silicone that skins over fast yet allows the passage of water vapor.


Water RepellantsWater Repellants
Water Repellants Substrate deterioration caused by water absorption, salt damage or acid rain can have significant aesthetic and structural impact. Fortunately, silicone water repellants provide a layer of protection on a variety of substrates - metal, stone and even glass. Transparent silicone coatings are even able to help restore the original appearance of many (previously) deteriorated surfaces.
