Dow Corning Z6018
Reactive silicone intermediate in colored maintenance and architectural finishes, appliance finishes, coil coatings and high-temperature finishes.
Blended with other silicone resins to improve hardness.
Blended with organic resins to improve weatherability and heat resistance.
Dow Corning Z-6018 Intermediate is primarily used in maintenance and architectural finishes, appliance finishes, coil coatings and high-temperature finishes.
Maintenance, coil coating and architectural finishes based on organic copolymers modified with Dow Corning Z-6018 Intermediate exhibit good chalk resistance and retain their color and gloss after years of outdoor exposure.
High-temperature finishes prepared with silicone-organic copolymers and cold blends have excellent gloss and color retention and can be used on space heaters, ovens, incinerators and similar high-temperature appliances.
Silicone-modified polyesters containing Dow Corning Z-6018 Intermediate may also be used in powder coating applications where improved weatherability and heat resistance are required.
