SILRES® MK FLAKES is a condensation curing methyl silicone resin with good solubility in various organic solvents. The product can be used as a binder or as an impregnation agent for porous materials. Besides SILRES® MK FLAKES is the ideal product for making tack-free prepregs with excellent storage stability. Compared to other WACKER silicone resins SILRES® MK FLAKES gells relatively fast at elevated temperature. It is therefore particularly suitable for fully automated production lines. Fully cured SILRES® MK FLAKES has the lowest carbon content of all WACKER silicone resins and thus yields a very high ash content when pyrolized.
