Genesee Polymers' GP-34 SILICONE FLUIDis an amine end-blocked silicone fluid with the following structure where x= 400 –450: The combination of amino-propyl and methoxy functional groups in GP-34provides a rapid cross-linking reaction when the product is GPosed to atmospheric moisture. Suggested uses for GP-34 SILICONE FLUID include applications in room temperature curing sealants, coatings and adhesives. If optimum elastomeric properties are needed, silica or other reinforcing fillers may be required.

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.
