What makes silicone resin emulsion paints so durable?
Silicone resin emulsion paints owe their great durability to the properties of low water absorption combined with high water-vapor permeability. These properties are conferred on the paints by the silicone resin binder, which forms a strongly hydrophobic (water-repellent) network, but at the same time is just as mineral in nature as quartz.
