Silicone Resin Applications for Heat-Resistant Coatings: A Review

Silicone resins, which exhibits excellent heat-resistance, chemical stability and adhesion, are indispensable components in high temperature resistance coatings. Herein, we summarize a comprehensive survey of developments on heat-resistant silicone-based coatings. The influence of heat-resistant of modifying silicone resin chain segment, such as main chain modification and side main modification are discussed. Then, the physical and chemical properties of inorganic fillers combined with silicone resins are summarized for the aim of ceramization and further improving the degree of heat-resistant. Finally, the challenges and future opportunities of heat resistance coatings based on silicone resins are considered.
