SILRES® BS 6042

SILRES® BS 6042 is a solventless, water-dilutable emulsion of a modified silicone resin that is specifically designed to be used as a standalone silicone in the production of silicone resin emulsion paints and plasters. When incorporated into coatings, SILRES® BS 6042 imparts several beneficial properties. These include long-lasting reduced water absorption, efficient resistance to early rain, and high water vapor permeability. These characteristics contribute to the overall performance and durability of the coatings, ensuring they maintain their effectiveness over time.

Application Details
  • SILRES® BS 6042 is employed as the main binder in silicone resin emulsion paints and plaster. If formulated properly, the products made with it are characterized by high permeability to water vapor and CO₂, low water absorption, low soiling tendency, a mineral appearance and long life.
  • SILRES® BS 6042 enables an excellent early water resistance.
  • Facades must be primed before painting for optimal protection.
  • We recommend high quality SILRES® BS primers.
