Dow Corning 62 Silicone Resin – Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q1: What is the primary function of Dow Corning® 62 Silicone Resin in coating formulations?

A: Dow Corning® 62 is a methyl-phenyl silicone resin designed primarily to enhance surface hardness, mar resistance, and thermal stability in high-performance organic coatings—especially in baked enamel systems for metal substrates.


Q2: Is Dow Corning® 62 compatible with common organic resins such as acrylics, alkyds, and epoxies?

A: Yes, it exhibits good compatibility with many thermosetting organic resins when properly blended and cured. Compatibility should be verified experimentally in the final formulation due to variations in solvent systems, catalysts, and cure schedules.


Q3: How is Dow Corning® 62 typically incorporated into a coating system?

A: It is generally added during the let-down stage as a solution in aromatic or ketonic solvents. Dosage depends on formulation requirements but is typically used at low concentrations to modify film properties without compromising flexibility or adhesion.


Q4: Does Dow Corning® 62 require a catalyst or specific cure conditions to achieve optimal performance?

A: It is intended for use in thermally cured systems, where crosslinking occurs upon baking—typically above 150 °C. While it can co-cure with conventional amino resins or metal soaps, no dedicated catalyst is required; however, cure profile optimization is recommended for each application.
