This company, a subsidiary of Milliken & Co., recently introduced SiVance® C2010 resin, a reactive silicone technology designed to create highly durable epoxy-silicone hybrid coating formulations.
The high-performance material reportedly helps extend the flexibility and impact resistance of protective coatings used in harsh operating environments such as undersea drilling, hydraulic fracturing, and chemical manufacturing. Compared to coatings made with competitive products, hybrid formulations featuring the resin can enable formulators to help their customers avoid the cracking, delamination, and blistering that can lead to corrosion and failure of metal pipes, tanks, and equipment.
