SiSiB® SR8040 is a solvent-free, pure-methyl silicone resin that blends seamlessly with organic resins. It delivers exceptionally high hardness, superior mechanical resilience, and excellent chemical and weather resistance. Its high SiO₂ content also produces far less smoke during initial heating compared with resins containing higher levels of organic substituents.
Excellent thermal stability across a wide temperature range
Low coefficient of thermal expansion in molded plastics
Outstanding aging resistance and abrasion resistance
High SiO2 content with minimal smoke generation
High binding strength at low dosage in high-temperature sintering
Forms a dense, highly insulating layer after sintering
Soluble for formulation of solvent-based air-drying coatings

SiSiB® SR8040 is a pure methyl silicone resin that is easily soluble in organic solvents and quickly gels upon heating to form a low smoke, high ash network structure with excellent thermal stability, weatherability and electrical insulation.
SiSiB® SR8040 can be used as a powder coating binder/co-binder, an impregnant for porous substrates or a tack-free prepreg matrix in a wide range of applications from high temperature electrical appliances and exhaust pipe coatings to insulating composites for aerospace and electrical applications.
SiSiB® SR8040 is available in 20Kg or 50Kg fiber drum.
SiSiB® SR8040 can crosslink or self-condense in the presence of moisture, making it essential to avoid moisture exposure before final application.
SiSiB® SR8040 Silicone Resin has a shelf life of 12 months from the date of manufacture when stored in its original, unopened containers at or below 25°C (77°F). After opening, containers should be tightly sealed to prevent contamination and moisture from entering the product.
