05.11.2024 New silicone additives for anti-scuff/ scuff proof coatings Back Tools Bookmark Share During service life, architectural coatings go through different environments and stresses. Scuff, mar resistance and low maintenance are highly preferred properties, these properties help to enhance durability without affecting the aesthetics of the surface. Silicone polymers are well known for very low surface energy, low coefficient of friction, and remarkable durability, along with their flexible backbones which can bear a wide range of organic functional groups. This paper introduces new silicone additives that can be considered for water based architectural paint. These unique silicone additives can provide exceptional scuff and block resistance across high and low pigment volume concentration formulations and can significantly improve the coating scuff performance against commonly used object like rubber, plastic, leather, etc. This study focuses on investigating how these silicones can enhance the surface characteristics of coating to provide such benefits without sacrificing the key desired properties. This paper will also discuss examples of other typical performance advantages that silicone additives can bring to coating systems and mechanisms.
