What Does Silicone Stick To?

One of the most common questions we get here at Countryman Coatings (CMC) is “Will your coating stick to …?” Although the easy answer is, “Almost anything,” we wanted to spend some time diving into this question for you. In today’s blog we are answering the question “What Does Silicone Stick To?”

What is Silicone?

Before moving forward, it’s important to be reminded of silicone’s makeup. Silicone is a polymer product, which simply means it is composed of a particular material blend. In the case of silicone, it is comprised of different inorganic materials. Described as something of a hybrid between a synthetic rubber and a synthetic plastic polymer, silicone can be used to make malleable rubber-like items, hard resins, and – in our industry -- spreadable fluids. Silicone coatings can be used for anything from small repairs to large-scale commercial roof restorations.
