DOWSIL RSN-0840

DOWSIL™ RSN-0840 Resin is a medium-hard silicone binder resin in toluene for maintenance paints, colored baking enamels, decorative finishes, and modification of organic coating systems. The resin is documented for improving heat resistance, weathering, moisture resistance, flow-out, initial gloss, and surface appearance in compatible formulations. Aluminum coatings containing 10% to 30% of the resin may provide short-duration heat resistance, while blends with organic binders are used for elevated-temperature gloss and color retention. Typical properties include 60% resin solids by weight, 20 cP viscosity, and 1.06 specific gravity.

Key features

• Medium-hard silicone binder: The resin is used in maintenance paints, baking enamels, and decorative finishes.
• Organic-resin modification: It is documented for improving heat resistance, weathering, flow-out, and initial gloss.
• Low-viscosity solvent-borne format: Typical properties include 60% resin solids and 20 cP viscosity.

Applications / Suitable for

• Maintenance paints and touch-up coatings
• Colored baking enamels and decorative finishes
• Flow and heat-resistance modification of organic coatings
