When properly cured, coatings or objects made from KiON polysilazanes or KiON polysilazane “hybrid” polymers are stable to hydrolysis. KiON Specialty Polymers has retained plaques of peroxide-cured Ceraset Polysilazane 20 for years with no degradation. Similarly, urethane “hybrid” flooring material made from KiON’s Ceraset Polyureasilazane polymer is still operational in outdoor locations eight years after installation.
