Genesee Polymers GP-226

Genesee Polymers' GP-226 SILICONE POLYOL COPOLYMER is a 100% active polyoxyethylene modified dimethylpolysiloxane block copolymer.GP-226 is water-dispersible and resistantto breakdown by hydrolysis due to the presence of stable ≡ Si –C ≡ bonds between silicone and polyol block sections. GP-226 SILICONE POLYOL COPOLYMER is recommended for use as a wetting agent oremulsifier in water-based coatings, inks, polishes and hard surface cleaners. Additionally, GP-226 may be used as a dispersing agent for the incorporation of clays, pigments and other powders in water.
