GP- 492 Dimethylpolysiloxane block copolymer Genesee Polymers Emulsifier >> oil in water Wetting agent/ Wet edge enhancer >> Silicone Coatings >> Waterborne Dispersible in water SILICONE POLYOL COPOLYMER GP-492 is a 100% active polyoxyethylene (EO) modified dimethylpolysiloxane block copolymer. GP-492 is water-dispersible and resistant to breakdown by hydrolysis due to the presence of stable Si - C bonds between silicone and polyol block sections. Some of the special properties of GP-492 are listed below: Low Surface Tension Water Dispersible Non-Hydrolyzable Low Freeze Point GP-492 is recommended for use as a wetting agent or emulsifier in water-based coatings, inks, polishes and hard surface cleaners. Additionally, GP-492 may be used as a dispersing agent for the incorporation of clays, pigments and other powders in water.Other applications include the following: Leveling and Flow Control Agent Thread Lubricant Non-hydrolyzable, active polyoxyethylene (EO) modified dimethylpolysiloxane block copolymer. Used as a wetting agent and emulsifier in water-based coatings and inks. Can be used as a dispersing agent for incorporation of clays, pigments and other powders in water, as a leveling and flow control agent and as a thread lubricant. Offers low surface tension and low freeze point.
