The coatings are based on siloxanes, acrylates, urethanes, and epoxies. Organosilanes can, by hydrolysis-condensation reactions, interact with surface silanols of the mineral (vertical condensation), react with themselves to form siloxanes by horizontal condensation and, in the case of trifunctional silanes of the type RSi[X. The increase is a response to a surge in global demand for its silicon-based products, where it expects to increase production of polydimethyl siloxanes by 15%. |
