  For this problem, many customers do not know this problem very well, and they can understand it first in the process of selection and use. Next silicone resin manufacturers will introduce you to whether silicone resin is waterproof, let's look at it.
  Organosilicon resin is a compound containing Si-C bond and at least one organic group is directly connected with silicon atom. As a kind of basic material, organosilicon materials have been widely used in the fields of architecture, electronic and electrical, textile, light industry and chemical industry. In the field of waterproofing and plugging, common silicone materials include silane, silicone resin, silicone emulsion, silicone powder, silicone acrylic emulsion, silicone sealant, etc.
  The common characteristic of these materials is that they have excellent hydrophobic properties. That is, all manufacturers will use to make the demonstration of "lotus leaf effect". What is particularly easy to confuse with inorganic silicon is what we usually call silicone water repellent. That is, sodium methylsilicate or potassium methylsilicate. The waterproof mechanism of sodium methylsilicate (potassium) is to produce a layer of insoluble waterproof resin film with several molecular thickness on the surface of the substrate. When used, it is usually diluted with 8-10 times of water.
  It is commonly used for waterproof, anti pollution treatment of building materials and waterproof of exterior wall finishes. But the life of this material will not be long, especially in the UV exposure environment, the hydrophobic effect of the surface layer will be lost, and the waterproof performance of the material will fail.
  Is silicone waterproof? Whether silicone resin is waterproof is introduced here, hope to help you. You can refer to it in the process of using.
