Decorative coatings beautify interiors in both residential and industrial settings. They add color and gloss to walls and ceilings, furniture, and decorative objects. Silanes, such as those from Evonik's DYNASYLAN® portfolio, optimize the properties of these coatings by enhancing adhesion on wood, metal, and plastic. Additionally, silanes impart hydrophobic properties to the coatings, making them resistant to chemicals and UV rays. Manufacturers and consumers benefit from the increased performance and longevity of the finished coating products.
