Coatings

• Building Exterior Protection: Silicone resin coatings are applied to exterior walls of skyscrapers, such as parts of the Shanghai Tower. These coatings provide exceptional weather resistance, shielding the building from UV rays, rain, and wind. This helps maintain the building’s color and texture while reducing aging, fading, and cracking caused by environmental factors.
• High-Temperature Equipment Protection: High-temperature equipment in steel plants, such as blast furnaces and heating furnaces, often feature silicone resin heat-resistant coatings. For instance, the blast furnaces at Baosteel use silicone resin coatings that can withstand temperatures of up to 1000°C, offering heat insulation, fire resistance, and anti-corrosion protection, ultimately extending the equipment's lifespan and ensuring production safety.
• Bridge Corrosion Resistance: The structural steel of the Hong Kong-Zhuhai-Macau Bridge is treated with silicone resin coatings. Their excellent resistance to salt spray, humidity, and chemical corrosion protects the bridge from the harsh marine environment, significantly enhancing its durability.

Adhesives

• Electronic Chip Packaging: Silicone resin adhesives are widely used in chip packaging, such as Intel’s high-end CPUs. These adhesives securely bond the chip to its casing while providing excellent insulation and heat dissipation, protecting the chip from external factors and ensuring stable operation.
• Aerospace Structural Bonding: High-performance silicone resin adhesives are used in critical aerospace structures, such as connecting airplane wings to the fuselage. For example, Boeing 787 aircraft use these adhesives for their high strength, heat resistance, and fatigue resistance, ensuring structural reliability under complex flight conditions.

Plastics and Rubber

• Plastic Modification: Adding silicone resin to automotive interior plastics, such as those in Volkswagen vehicles, enhances heat resistance, weather resistance, and mechanical strength, ensuring parts remain durable and deformation-free over time.
• Rubber Reinforcement: Silicone resin additives are used in high-speed train rubber damping components, such as those in the CRH series trains in China. These additives improve heat resistance, cold resistance, oil resistance, and wear resistance, extending the lifespan of damping parts and ensuring stable train operation.

Medical Applications

• Artificial Joint Coatings: Silicone resin coatings are applied to artificial joints like hip and knee replacements. Products from companies like Smith & Nephew feature these coatings, which offer excellent biocompatibility and wear resistance, reducing friction, minimizing debris generation, and extending joint longevity for better patient outcomes.
• Medical Dressings: Silicone resin dressings from companies like 3M are used in burn and wound care. These dressings offer excellent breathability, moisture retention, and antibacterial properties, creating an optimal healing environment and reducing the risk of infection.

Optical Applications

• Optical Lenses: Transparent silicone resin is used to make lenses for high-end optical devices like professional cameras and telescopes. Canon’s professional camera lenses utilize silicone resin lenses for their high transparency and superior optical performance, ensuring excellent light transmission and imaging quality.
• LED Lighting: Silicone resin is used in LED packaging for lighting products such as LED bulbs and streetlights. Philips' LED products use silicone resin for its high transparency and weather resistance, which protect the LED chips while improving light output efficiency and enhancing illumination performance.
