Abstract
Abstract Ultraviolet radiation resistant silicone resin coating compositions are provided having improved thermoformability. Improved thermoformability and shortened required aging are achieved by the addition of a Lewis acid compound to the coating compositions is disclosed. Thermoformability is also improved by using the UV screen containing silicone resin coating composition in conjunction with extensible acrylate primers.
