Polysilazanes are polymers which silicon and nitrogen atoms alternate to form the basic backbone. Although the chemistry and applications characteristics have been recognized for a long time, there are only a few products introduced into the market place due to relatively high cost of development work. This article will use the examples of formulations and applications to discuss an advancement in silicon polymer technology that is proprietary to EMD Performance Materials. The inorganic and organopolysilazane based technology provides an entirely new class of coating binders which can result an excellent protection properties, such as excellent scratch, impact and abrasion resistance as well as chemical and corrosion resistance.
