SILRES® K is a solution of a condensation-curing methyl silicone resin in toluene. The product can be used as a binder or as an impregnation agent for porous materials. Besides, SILRES® K is the ideal product for making tack-free prepregs with excellent storage stability. Fully cured SILRES® K has a very low carbon content and thus yields a high ash content when pyrolized. Composites made of SILRES® K show long-term stability against weathering, moisture, and UV light. They can therefore be continuously exposed to constantly changing climatic conditions, UV radiation, and temperatures significantly higher than 300 °C (572 °F). SILRES® K also provides water repellency and excellent electrical insulation properties to the respective composite materials.

SILRES® MK Flakes is a condensation-curing methyl silicone resin with good solubility in various organic solvents. The product can be used as a binder or as an impregnation agent for porous materials. Besides, SILRES® MK Flakes is the ideal product for making tack-free prepregs with excellent storage stability. Fully cured SILRES® MK Flakes has the lowest carbon content of all WACKER silicone resins and thus yields a very high ash content when pyrolized. Composites made of SILRES® MK Flakes show long-term stability against weathering, moisture, and UV light. They can therefore be continuously exposed to constantly changing climatic conditions, UV radiation, and temperatures significantly higher than 300 °C (572 °F). SILRES® MK Flakes also provides water repellency and excellent electrical insulation properties to the respective composite materials.

SILRES® MK Powder is a condensation-curing methyl silicone resin with good solubility in various organic solvents. The product can be used as a binder or as an impregnation agent for porous materials. Additionally, SILRES® MK Powder is the ideal product for making tack-free prepregs with excellent storage stability. When fully cured, SILRES MK POWDER has the lowest carbon content among all WACKER silicone resins, resulting in a high ash content when pyrolized. Composites made of SILRES® MK Powder exhibit long-term stability against weathering, moisture, and UV light. They can be continuously exposed to changing climatic conditions, UV radiation, and temperatures exceeding 300 °C (572 °F). Furthermore, SILRES® MK Powder provides water repellency and excellent electrical insulation properties to the composite materials.
