Waterborne hydrophobic cleaning and coating compositions of this invention are prepared by combining one or more silicone ingredient, with water, and at least one solubilizing agent capable of making the silicone ingredient miscible in water to form a homogeneous mixture. Optionally, cleaning and costing compositions of this invention can include volatilizing agents, to reduce application time, and colorizing agents, to provide a desired composition color. The silicone ingredient can be selected from the group of silicone resins, silicone oils, and mixtures thereof. Preferably, the silicone ingredient comprises a functional group that is capable of forming a bond with a chemical group of the underlying substrate. Preferably, the solubilizing agent is one that is selected from the group consisting of organic solvents, alcohols, ketones, acetates, ethers, esters, aromatics, and mixtures thereof that are soluble in water and that are capable of cleaning a substrate surface. Coating compositions of this invention are capable of simultaneously cleaning, preparing a substrate surface, and providing a protective thin-film hydrophobic surface thereon at ambient temperature without conducting a multi-step process and without having to use special equipment.

Waterborne hydrophobic cleaning and coating composition

Halogenated resin compositions are prepared without using halogen acids by combining at least one silicone intermediate, with an optional silane, an organic halogen-containing ingredient having functional groups selected from the group consisting of hydroxy, amine, and carboxyl groups, and a resin selected from the group consisting of hydroxy- and epoxy-functional resins. One or more amine curing agent and/or catalyst selected from the group consisting of organometallic compounds, acids, bases, and mixtures thereof can optionally be added to facilitate ambient temperature curing of the resulting composition. The combined ingredients undergo hydrolysis reactions to form a halogenated organooxysilane that condenses to form a cross-linked halogenated polysiloxane composition. The resin also reacts with the condensing halogenated organooxysilane to introduce itself into the cross-linked halogenated polysiloxane and, thereby form the halogenated polysiloxane resin composition. The composition is prepare without using an inorganic halogen acid, and is fully-cured at ambient temperature by exposure to atmospheric moisture to form a protective film, or alternatively a composite, having improved properties of chemical, abrasion, corrosion, weather, flame, and ultraviolet resistance.

Halogenated resin compositions

A heat ablative coating composition is prepared by combining an epoxy silane resin, an epoxy resin, a silicone intermediate, a silicon-modified polyether, an aminosilane, at least one organometallic catalyst, at least one organic solvent, water, at least one filler, optional nonsilicon-containing amine catalyst, and optional pigments and thixotropic agents. The heat ablative coating composition is applied to a substrate to form a film having a build thickness in the range of from about 0.1 to 0.5 inches that is capable of curing at ambient outdoor temperature in about seven days, depending on ambient conditions. The heat ablative film so formed is designed to undergo a slow thermal decomposition when exposed to high temperature conditions without igniting or causing excessive smoke, and is designed to have good thermal conductivity to protect the underlying substrate from thermal decomposition. The heat ablative film has elastomeric properties of impact resistance and flexibility that serves to both protect an underlying structure from mechanical damage due to particle or other contact, and facilitate its use with flexible substrates.
