Abstract: Topcoats for silicone elastomers contain at least one organopolysiloxane resin, a silane, and core/shell particles, and exhibit reduced coefficients of friction and dirt repellency while being strongly bonded to the susbstrate.

Abstract: A composition preparable using polymer components (1) (A1) polyorganosiloxanes comprising T and optionally M units and/or (A2) polyorganosiloxanes comprising Q and optionally M units, with the proviso that per molecule there are 0.01% to 3.0% by weight of Si-bonded radicals OR1, and also, optionally, one or more vinyl chloride-hydroxypropyl acrylate copolymers, vinyl acetate-ethylene copolymers, polyvinyl chloride, polyamides, polyesters, acrylate-polyester copolymers, polyamide-polyester copolymers, vinyl acetate-polyester copolymers, or monomeric (meth)acrylates, the (meth)acrylates copolymerized with silanes containing Si-bonded (meth)acrylate groups, (2) silane(s) R3xSi(OR2)4-x, and (3) crosslinked silicone particles composed of a single molecule which have an average diameter of 5 to 200 nm, are useful for forming coatings which bond well to substrates, exhibit low friction, and are dirt repellant.
