In the coating industry, low curing efficiency and poor substrate adhesion have long been major obstacles limiting production efficiency and product quality. For enterprises requiring room-temperature application, balancing easy processing with coating stability remains a difficult challenge — traditional resin systems often fail to meet these dual demands. However, liquid polysilazane containing Si–N structural units provides a breakthrough solution, thanks to its unique molecular architecture and exceptional performance.
The core advantage of this liquid polysilazane lies in its Si–NH–Si bonding structure — it can cure at ambient temperature through a hydrolysis-oxidation reaction, eliminating the need for high-temperature baking. This innovation fundamentally solves the limitations of conventional coatings that depend on heat-curing equipment, consume high energy, and restrict application scenarios. More importantly, its molecular chains can form strong chemical bonds with surface –OH groups on various substrates. Whether applied to metallic substrates (such as aluminum alloys and stainless steel), inorganic nonmetals (like glass or ceramics), or low-surface-energy materials such as PP plastics, it achieves outstanding adhesion strength. The resulting coating exhibits significantly higher peel strength than conventional resins, effectively preventing delamination and cracking.
To meet diverse performance requirements across applications, the curing process of this polysilazane can be precisely adjusted by adding specific catalysts. Acidic or basic catalysts allow flexible control of curing time — from several hours to dozens of hours — while promoting the formation of a three-dimensional crosslinked network. This structure dramatically enhances the coating’s mechanical properties: testing shows cured coatings reach pencil hardness levels above 2H, improve impact resistance by 30%, and maintain excellent flexibility to endure bending and stretching without damage.
In terms of application convenience and functional performance, this material also excels. With a low viscosity of 5–20 mPa·s at room temperature, it offers excellent flowability and is compatible with multiple application methods, including spraying, dipping, and brushing. The coating forms uniformly without sagging or pinholes. Once cured, it demonstrates outstanding weather and corrosion resistance, withstanding over 1000 hours of salt-spray exposure without rust. It is also nonflammable (oxygen index ≥32%), meeting stringent industrial safety standards. Moreover, its low surface tension makes it easy to clean — oil and dust can be removed effortlessly, reducing maintenance costs.
Whether used in industrial anti-corrosion coatings, electronic component insulation layers, or protective decorative coatings on plastic substrates, the liquid polysilazane with Si–N structure stands out with its “room-temperature curing, strong adhesion, tunable performance, and easy application.” It provides a vital technological advantage for companies seeking to streamline production and enhance product competitiveness — a true innovation in modern coating materials.
