Genesee Polymers' GP-6 SILICONE FLUID is an amine functional silicone polymer with the following structure where x = 100 and y = 4: The amine-alkyl functionality of GP-6 provides a versatile reaction site for the synthesis of a variety of functional silicone polymers and silicone-organic copolymers. The polar amine groups in GP-6 SILICONE FLUID also demonstrate high affinity for many substrates, suggesting use of GP-6 in textile lubricants, plastic and rubber release and lubrication, and in car polish formulations. GP-6 SILICONE FLUID is compatible with dimethyl silicone fluids, and with aliphatic, aromatic and chlorinated solvents.

Genesee Polymers' GP-654 AMINE FUNCTIONAL SILICONE FLUID is an aminoalkyl terminated dimethyl silicone polymer with the following structure where x = 92: GP-654 is listed on the U.S. E.P.A. Toxic Substances Control Inventory as Aminopropyl Terminated PolyDimethylsiloxane (CAS# 106214-84-0).

Genesee Polymers’GP-690 ABA SILICONE POLYOL COPOLYMER is a 100% active non-ionic silicone polyol block copolymer with the following structure: P-690 contains polyoxyethylene blocks and dimethyl silicone polymer blocks, which are joined through non-hydrolyzable silicon to carbon bonds.GP-690 ABA SILICONE POLYOL COPOLYMER is designed to function as an emulsifier, wetting agent and profoaming additive for a variety of applications including: polyurethane foams, hard surface cleaners and polishes, and cosmetic formulations.GP-690 contains a primary hydroxyl group at each end of the molecule, allowing for reaction with isocyanates in polyurethane resin systems. This is expected to improve flow and leveling of polyurethane coatings and impart non-stick characteristics to the cured coatings.In textile applications, GP-690 is suggested as a fiber lubricant where more thermal stability is needed than is provided by organic lubricants such as stearates or mineral oils.GP-690is soluble in lower alcohols (EtOH, IPA) and dispersible in water, along with aliphatic and aromatic hydrocarbons.

Genesee Polymers' GP-596 is a 28% active epoxy functional silicone polymer in solution. The epoxy functionality in GP-596 allows for rapid cross-linking with standard amine curing agents. Selecting the proper curing agent is dependent on application techniques, pot life requirements, cure conditions and physical properties needed.Cured coatings formed from GP-596exhibit greater elongation, higher impact resistance and more flexibility, than coatings formed from standard bisphenol A type resins. This increased flexibility allows for greater adhesion to coated surfaces, resulting in improved durability.In addition to the tough coating properties of GP-596, the presence of the unique silicone-epoxy copolymer imparts non-stick and rust inhibiting characteristics as well. This strongly suggests applications involving protection of ferrous and nonferrous metals exposed to extreme abrasion conditions, or corrosive atmospheres.GP-596may be formulated with pigments, thickeners, dispersants and other additives as needed to yield finished coatings. The technology of formulating is closely related to standard epoxy resin coatings applications.
