The application technology of silicone in coatings (including inks) has developed from professional, high-performance coatings to a wider range of fields. The application of silicone technology can improve the insulation, heat resistance, weather resistance, antifouling, abrasion resistance and other properties of the coating, which will be introduced below according to its purpose.

The first application of silicone resin as a coating is silicone resin-impregnated glass fiber cloth tape, which is used as a wire insulation protection layer on US Navy submarines. In the 1950s, China developed silicone resin, which was also mainly used in the impregnation of H-class motor coils, the impregnation of H-class motors' wire and wire insulation and glass fiber cloth for slot insulation, and the impregnation of glass fiber insulation sleeves. , Mica tape for insulation, etc.

Therefore, pure silicone resin is the oldest silicone product as an insulating coating. The pure silicone resin produced by the old process has the advantages of high temperature resistance, weather resistance, good insulation and other general organic resins. However, it also has the disadvantages of high curing temperature, long curing time, poor adhesion, and re-adhesion at high temperature. With the development of science and technology and the development of new materials, silicones are not the only H-class insulating coatings, and high-performance organic resin H-class insulating paints such as polyimide and polyester have appeared.

Therefore, in order to meet the needs of the situation, silicone coatings must develop in the direction of new processes, new technologies, new varieties, and new uses. By reforming the production process of silicone resin and using new technologies such as organic resin and silicone resin cold spelling or copolymerization modification, the three defects of silicone resin have been greatly improved, and the application field of silicone coating has been expanded accordingly.
