What is the difference between the films formed by trimethylsiloxysilicic acid, a film-forming agent, and acrylic silicone?

Product Category Silicone-based Film Formers

Trimethylsiloxysilicate, also known as MQ resin, forms hard and crisp films in its hard and very hard types.
Acrylic silicone, on the other hand, features a structure where silicone branches are attached to an acrylic backbone, resulting in transparent films with high flexibility.
