Application

  • CG-502 is used in the manufacture of chemical-resistant coatings, heat-resistant coatings, silicone solvents, and precision casting binders, and serves as a crosslinking agent for silicone rubber.

  • CG-502 is applied to natural stone or other building materials to form silica sol-like inorganic substances (SiO2) to enhance substrate strength.

  • CG-502 improves the properties of other resins and serves as a raw material for manufacturing silicone compounds.

  • CG-502 undergoes polymerization to form silicone resins used in varnishes or other surface modifiers.

  • CG-502 acts as an intermediate in sol-gel reactions for the production of silica aerogels.

  • CG-502 is used in the production of zinc-rich anti-corrosion coatings.
