Provided herein is a method for coating a surface. The method comprises providing a towelette moistened with a mixture of constituents to form a non-aqueous silicon-based composition comprising 7% to 80% (w/w of the total composition) polysilazane, 1% to 10% (w/w of the total composition) polysilane, 0.2% to 1% (w/w of the total composition) polysiloxane, and 20% to 70% (w/w of the total composition) at least one organic solvent; wherein polysilazane is present in a 10:1 to 110:1 weight ratio to polysiloxane; and wherein the polysilane is of a formula (R 1 R 2 Si) n , wherein n is greater than 1, and wherein R 1 and R 2 are the same or different and are chosen from alkyl, alkenyl, cycloalkyl, alkylamino, aryl, aralkyl, or alkylsilyl. The mixture from the towelette to form a coating on a surface and the coating is cured ambiently without additional heat. Also provided are towelettes containing the mixture. |
