Genesee Polymers GP-61

Genesee Polymers' GP-61 is a 100% active AMINE FUNCTIONAL SILICONE WAX. This novel silicone wax copolymer is readily soluble, after melting in mineral spirits, to provide a solvent-based release agent. GP-61 is recommended for evaluation as a lubricant, water repellent, antiblocking agent and internal processing aid for thermoplastics. Since GP-61contains no dimethyl silicone, it will not cause orange peel, fish eyes or similar effects associated with conventional silicones. Another outstanding feature of this product is the amine functionality that provides temporary rust protection and good bonding to mold substrates. GP-61 may be easily removed by steam cleaning or solvent wash.
