Silicone Chemistry
Silicone resins are hydrophobic by nature and mix easily with water already present in the wood too. The silicone resin contains T-units to achieve a certain hardness but also D-units to maintain flexibility. Indeed, a 3D structure maintaining water vapor permeability, anti cracking resistance and water repellency. The alkoxygroups in the formula guarantee high reactivity, crosslinking en substrate adhesion.
