(C) is tin (II) and tin (IV) compounds, preferably tin dilaurate, tin dioctoate, tetrabutyl tin, or titanium tetrabutoxide.R1 = 1-10C hydrocarbyl group or a 1-10C halogen-substituted hydrocarbyl group (both free of aliphatic unsaturation);R2 = R1, -H, -OH or a hydrolysable group;R7 = 1-8C hydrocarbyl group or 1-8C halogen-substituted hydrocarbyl group;X = hydrolysable group;Me = methyl;Ph = phenyl; eitherw = 0-0.8; andx = 0-0.6; andy = 0-0.99; andz = 0-0.35; ory+z = 0.2-0.99; orw+x = 0.01-0.80; andq = 0 or 1.Provided that (A) has an average of at least two silicon-bonded hydrogen atoms, or at least two silicon-bonded hydroxy groups, or at least two silicon-bonded hydrolysable groups per molecule; and y has a value such that the silicone resin has a number-average molecular weight of 500-50000. The silica nanoparticles are colloidal silica particles having a particle size of 15-20 nm dispersed in a polar solvent. The polar solvent is methanol, ethanol, isopropyl alcohol, ketones, water, acetic acid, diols, trials, glycerol esters or polyglycols. The coating layer is obtained by a method comprising: blending the condensation cured silicone resin composition with the silica nanoparticles; or adding the silica nanoparticles to the condensation cured silicone resin composition during the manufacture of the condensation cured silicone resin composition. EXAMPLE - Chilled mixture of colloidal silica (200 g) in isopropyl alcohol and de-ionized water (28 g) were added in a three necked round bottomed flask (500 ml). The mixture was stirred and further chilled with an ice water bath to 2degreesC. Methyltrimethoxysilane (70.72 g) was added with acetic acid (3.48 g) and hydrolyzed. The mixture was stirred for another 3 and half hours. Then the ice water bath was removed and the mixture was allowed to warm up. Then the mixture was stirred for 14 hours to produce the final resin. The average composition of the condensation curable silicone resin of formula ((Me(i-PrO)SiO(2/2)-0.1(MeSiO(3/2))-0.39(SiO(4/2))-0.5)), where i-PrO is an isopropoxy group, was applied to the top side of the stainless steel foil. The coating was air dried by placing the coated stainless steel foil in a fume hood for 1 hour. Then the coated piece was placed in an oven to cure to give the article of manufacture.
