GENIOPERL® W36
- Chemical Family
- Silicones
GENIOPERL® W36 is a polymer modifier with a linear structure based on functionalized silicone. It is specifically designed for use as a plastic additive. When incorporated into thermoset polymer systems, GENIOPERL® W36 enhances the impact strength, especially at low temperatures. Additionally, this product is formulated with internal anti-foam additives, which effectively reduce foam formation during vacuum casting processes.

- Properties
GENIOPERL® W36 improves the impact strength of thermoset polymer systems, especially at low temperatures. We recommend additions of 2-8 wt.% for thermosets, in each case relative to the unfilled resin/curing agent or polymer system.. GENIOPERL® W36 contains internal anti-foam additives to reduce foam formation by using the material in vacuum casting processes.

- Application Details
The use of GENIOPERL® W36 in cycloaliphatic epoxy resins or epoxy resins cured by carboxylic acid anhydrides is particularly recommended.. GENIOPERL® W36 is incorporated into polymer systems by dispersion in monomer or resin blends prior to curing at temperatures between 50 °C and 80 °C. We recommend processing temperatures of at least 50 °C for optimum dispersion. We also recommend the use of rotor-stator systems or simple blade like stirring systems.
