The present invention includes a novel polyol prepolymer including either
an aliphatic amine, cycloaliphatic amine, aromatic amine or a mixture of
these with an epoxy functional silicone to produce the novel polyol
prepolymer chain extender. In one aspect of the invention, the novel
polyol prepolymer chain extender is reacted with an epoxy resin to
produce a novel silicone modified epoxy resin having improved adhesion,
chemical resistance, UV stability, and decreased shrinkage properties. In
another aspect of the invention, the novel polyol prepolymer chain
extender is reacted with an acrylic monomer to produce a novel silicone
modified acrylic resin having improved adhesion, chemical resistance, UV
stability, increased functionality, and decreased shrinkage properties.
The present invention also provides for a novel solid surface material
composition.
