Silicone oil has very low surface tension and unique interfacial properties. Adding a small amount of low-viscosity dimethyl silicone oil to coatings and inks can effectively reduce their surface tension, improve coating and expansibility, and obtain a coating without orange peel and uniform appearance.

Compared with traditional coatings, polysiloxane coatings have many excellent properties, so they occupy a very important position in the coating industry, especially in the application of functional coatings.

Polysiloxane coatings have the following characteristics: ① The paint film has excellent gloss and color retention, high gloss, good decorativeness, corrosion resistance, and excellent chemical resistance. The physical and mechanical properties of the paint film are good, the paint film dries quickly, the construction efficiency is high, and it is resistant to stains and easy to clean; ② No intermediate coating is required during construction, which reduces the number of coatings; ③ It is a high-solid coating with low VOC content, no isocyanate, low odor, and is safe, healthy and environmentally friendly. Therefore, polysiloxane coatings are used in architectural coatings.
