              Glass Resins 
                      are a family of high-performance, thermosetting 
                      polysiloxane resins based on an alternating silicon-oxygen 
                      network. They are manufactured from specifically purified 
                      monomers by a patented process which yields polymers 
                      having exceptional properties. The Glass Resins cure by 
                      condensation and, once cured, are insoluble in all common 
                      organic solvents.

                      solvents. 
                      	
                      
                      GR-651
                          Liquid :a 35% solids solution of resin 
                      in ethanol-butanol that also contains a catalyst of 
                      Tetramethylammoniumhydroxide blocked with Formic acid

                          Liquid :a 25% solids solution of resin 
                      in ethanol  
                      
					  These three materials are manufactured to produce a

                      GR-650 
					  Flake has the highest M.W., followed by the 
					  GR-655 
					  Liquid and then the 
					  GR-651 
					  Liquid. Glass Resins cure by condensation, so degree of 
					  cure depends on time and temperature. 
               
                       
                      
					  Formulation 
              		The GR-650 Flake is the 
                      most versatile product as it is a solid resin and can be 
                      cut in a variety of polar solvents, depending on the flash 
                      point desired. Solvents range from ethanol to DPMA. After 
                      the flake is dissolved in polar solvent it can be reduced 
                      with some non-polar solvent such as an Isopar. The 
                      tolerance for a non-polar reduction is worked out on a 
                      case by case basis based on the solvents and resin solids 
                      used.  
                       
                      The semipermanent mold releases based on Glass Resins are 
                      generally sold at 1 to 3% resin solids and may incorporate 
                      a small percentage of a high viscosity silicone oil for 
                      "fast break".  
                       
                      The GR-650 Flake can be made available in solution in a 
                      variety of solvents.
                       
                      All Glass Resins are available with a Certificate of 
                      Analysis showing test results versus those specified by 
                      the customer.
                       
                      The GR-650 Flake is sold in 25 pound bags. The 
					  GR-651 
                      Liquid are sold in 5 gallon pails and 55 gallon drums.
