The GETREN® P series – Gliding agents for window rubber seals

The gliding agents Evonik offers from its GETREN^® P series are water-based silicone oil emulsions as well as gliding polymers that form a solid lubricating film.

Products of the GETREN^® P series can be applied by dipping or spraying, at the user's choice, after extrusion. Silicone oil emulsions provide excellent gliding action, allowing rubber seals to be inserted into window profiles with little effort.

Specially formulated silicone oil emulsions from Evonik are even suitable for assembly of rubber seals on Plexiglas or polycarbonate plates without formation of stress cracks. Additionally, they offer an outstanding price-performance ratio.

A disadvantage of silicone oil emulsions is that they never dry out completely, which could result in staining of the production area or soaking of the transport packaging.
