Durazane® - Simple and protective!

Durazane® works as an ultimate surface protection - Protect your surfaces against the effects of scratches, high temperature, water, dirt and corrosion.

ONE SOLUTION FOR ALL SURFACES

Durazane® is either a unique class of high-performance binders (Durazane® 1000 and 2000 series) or additives (Durazane® 5000). With top performance from our organic and inorganic Polysilazanes, coatings with Durazane® result in durable surfaces that not only gleam as if they were brand new but also protect against all kinds of damage to preserve their beauty and value.

Product features:

  • High-temperature resistance
  • Water and dirt repellency
  • Scratch protection
  • Corrosion prevention

PRODUCT RANGE

As your solution provider, we are proud to be one of the main manufacturer in the world, offering the entire range of organic (Durazane® 1000 series) and inorganic (Durazane® 2000 series) polysilazanes as well as particle-based additives (Durazane® 5000 series) on a commercial scale.

IDEAL APPLICATIONS FOR USING OUR POLYSILAZANES

  • Mobility (automotive, aerospace, marine)

Traveling around can be risky for vehicles – there’s always a possibility of damage. Thankfully, our Durazane® polysilazanes help tackle damage for you – from high temperatures to dirt and grime, wear and tear, scratches, and corrosion. 

  • Architecture & construction (exterior and interior surfaces)

Buildings can do little to avoid the onslaught of searing sunshine, continual rain, moisture, and snow. And even inside buildings, surfaces are not safe from dirt and the scratches inflicted on them by their occupants. Our solutions give you long-lasting protection outside (against UV, weathering, and the impact of acid rain) and plenty of options for serious protection in interior applications such as kitchen surfaces. They also make surfaces easier to clean, saving time and effort.

  • Industry (machinery, components, plant)

When companies invest millions in their industrial assets, they want those assets to last and keep working as intended. Coatings based on polysilazanes provide powerful protection against corrosion, weathering, wear and tear, and dirt. They also offer important chemical resistance.

TECHNICAL INFORMATION

Our polysilazane products fall into three groups:


Durazane® 1000 series: Our organic polysilazanes work by forming dense ceramic layers with Si-N-Si and Si-O-Si structure. The layers this creates are highly temperature-resistant and provide excellent protection against corrosion and weathering. They also keep water at bay (strong hydrophobic properties), so they do an excellent job at demotivating graffiti artists and make life a lot easier when cleaning surfaces. 

Durazane® 2000 series: Our inorganic polysilazanes add a film to surfaces consisting of a quartz, glass-like silicone dioxide. They can be used to add anti-scratch properties and excellent chemical and thermal resistance to a wide range of substrates.

Durazane® 5500: Our particle based additive is developed expecially for use in high-gloss, solvent-borne topcoats. We developed a polymerization process whereby polymer chains are covalently bound to the surface for each particle. These resin-like polymer chains are able to react chemically with the binder matrix via their functional groups.
