Silylated polyurethane resins are a novel class of organic-inorganic hybrids that already find numerous commercial applications in the industrial, building, construction and A&S markets [1]. Successful product launches in the past two decades have provided a strong foundation for the further expansion of this technology towards a more sophisticated organic coatings market. Stateof-the-art silylated resin technology offers coating formulators an opportunity to design new classes of organic polyurethane coatings systems equipped with performance advantages typical of silicone chemistry. The concept of silylated polyurethane technology opens up an opportunity to formulate isocyanate-free, environmentally compliant, one-component urethane coating systems characterised ...
