GENIOSIL GF 56

Introduction of GENIOSIL® GF 56 as a co-monomer in Polymers would results in binders with much improved wet scrub resistance and abrasion resistance thanks to crosslinking and better adhesion to the substrate. Organic surface coatings will adhere more strongly to inorganic substrates that have been treated with GENIOSIL® GF 56. As a result, these coatings demonstrate markedly greater scratch resistance and resistance to chemicals. GENIOSIL® GF 56 can be also used as a polymer building block. To incorporate GENIOSIL® GF 56 into organic polymers, it is added as a co-monomer - along with typically used monomers and free-radical initiators (diazo compounds or peroxides) - during production of the solution or emulsion polymer.
