Why It Matters
Architectural and transit coating formulators buy silicone/fluoro surface chemistry for sacrificial and permanent anti-graffiti systems. Silicone and silsesquioxane chemistry is already in catalog, making this a winnable adjacency to the masonry water-repellent page
Solution Approach
Architectural and transit coating formulators buy silicone/fluoro surface chemistry for sacrificial and permanent anti-graffiti systems. Silicone and silsesquioxane chemistry is already in catalog, making this a winnable adjacency to the masonry water-repellent page RawSource supplies the base chemicals that go into these programs. We can help with product selection, grade matching, and sourcing from multiple origins for supply security.
Typical Formulation Workflow
1
System & Substrate Assessment
Define the binder system (waterborne, solventborne, UV, powder), substrate, cure, and the VOC, durability, and appearance targets.
2
Additive & Resin Selection
Match resins, pigments and fillers, dispersants, rheology modifiers, defoamers, or biocides to the formulation and compatibility window.
3
Lab Let-Down & Optimization
Dial in loading and addition order through lab let-downs, checking dispersion, rheology, film properties, and storage stability.
4
Application & Performance Testing
Validate on the real application method and substrate, tracking gloss, adhesion, sag, cure, and weathering before scale-up.
Recommended Chemistries (4)
Silicone Resin (methyl silicone resin)
CAS 67762-90-7
Silicone Fluids & Oils
