When people think of coating materials, common issues like "troublesome curing," "poor high-temperature resistance," and "easy peeling" often come to mind. However, an organopolysilazane material named **IOTA 9150** is breaking these inherent stereotypes of traditional coatings with its unique properties.
In terms of ease of use, its advantages are obvious. It is a transparent liquid ranging from colorless to pale yellow, with a viscosity of 10cp–40cp—thinner than the cooking oil we use daily. Whether through brushing, dipping, spraying, or spreading, it can easily cover the surfaces of various substrates such as metal, alloy, glass, and plastic, without clumping or unevenness. Furthermore, its curing conditions are extremely user-friendly: no high-temperature baking equipment is required. At room temperature, the surface can dry in 30–50 minutes and fully cure in approximately 24 hours. If there’s a tight schedule, heating it to 120°C–180°C allows complete curing in 2–6 hours—even temperature-sensitive plastic substrates can be coated with confidence.
What’s even more remarkable is its high-temperature resistance and durability. After curing, the clear coat variant can work stably in environments below 500°C, while the formulated coating variant can even withstand temperatures below 1000°C. Even in high-temperature conditions, it won’t deform or crack easily. Additionally, its thermal shrinkage rate is less than 1%—after being applied to a substrate and cured, it won’t shrink or wrinkle due to temperature changes, maintaining a smooth surface at all times.
It also excels in protective performance. The coating has a contact angle of 100°–105°, giving it strong hydrophobicity. Water droplets roll off immediately when they land on the surface, rather than adhering—greatly reducing water erosion on the substrate. It also provides excellent barrier properties against gases like oxygen, preventing gas from penetrating into the substrate and achieving effective anti-corrosion results. Meanwhile, with a light transmittance of over 95%, it does not affect the light transmission of glass at all when used as a glass coating—making it particularly suitable for scenarios such as architectural glass and electronic device displays.
In practical applications, its performance is equally outstanding. For example, in the automotive industry, when diluted and applied to car surfaces, a 3–8μm coating can enhance the car’s appearance brightness, resist daily scratches and graffiti, and keep the car looking good long-term. In the field of composite materials, adding it imparts flame-retardant properties, improving material safety. When used as an adhesive, it can firmly bond components of different materials, and the bonded area can withstand a certain degree of external impact without breaking easily.
This unconventional coating material not only solves many pain points of traditional coatings but also opens up new possibilities for product upgrades across industries, promising to play an important role in more fields.
