GENIOSIL® WP

Wacker Chemie AG Brand

Products:1

GENIOSIL^® WP silane-modified polymers are the key to innovative waterproofing products, whose properties are comparable to those of polyurethane-based liquid waterproofing coatings. Thanks to its particularly low viscosity, GENIOSIL^® WP is easy to formulate without the addition of solvents, plasticizers or tin catalysts.

GENIOSIL® WP 1

Functions:Binder, Binder & Resin
Chemical Family:Silane-Terminated Polyether (STPE)
Product Type:Primer, Potting Compound, Encapsulant
Cure Method:Moisture Cure
Application Method:Spray, Roller

GENIOSIL® WP 1 is a polyether-based silane-terminated polymer suitable as a binder in moisture-curing formulations. It differs from conventional silylated polymers due to its high reactivity, which results from the structural proximity of the nitrogen atom to the silicon atom in the dimethoxy(methyl)silyl-methylcarbamate group (alpha-effect). It hydrolyzes in the presence of moisture to form a stable siloxane network initiated by mild catalysis, rather than heavy metal ions.

Knowde Brand Highlights

Brand Overview: The one-component end products do not require classification as hazardous substances and adhere to most substrates without pretreatment. They can be applied by roller, brush or airless sprayer. Due to their moisture-curing properties, they can be processed in all kinds of weather – even on cold, wet days and on damp substrates.

Curing results in a tack-free waterproofing membrane that is rainproof in no time and features good mechanical strength and excellent resistance to chemicals. Furthermore, it bridges cracks and is watertight, yet permits diffusion.
