GETREN® P Sliding Agents for

Window Profiles

Sept 2014

Typical application of

GETREN® P sliding agents

Our GETREN® P series was developed for the coating of rubber surfaces.

This coating facilitates the assembling of rubber profiles for

construction or window frames made of aluminum, plastics or wood.

Page | 2 GETREN P ® Series

Without a lubricant, the rubber and the metal

surface are in direct contact

The sliding of the two materials is insufficient

High forces are required to assemble the

rubber profiles to the frame

Sliding agents play a significant role for

the handling of different surfaces

Rubber

Metal Oxygen

Rubber

Metal Fluid

Rubber

Metal Pasty

When using a lubricant, the rubber and the metal

surface are not in direct contact

Liquid lubricants:

non-drying, e.g. silicone oil

drying resulting in pasty appearance,

e.g. OMS based sliding polymers

There are two common ways of

applying sliding agents

Spraying procedure Dipping procedure

Electrical control and

control elements

Formation of a flexible and stable film on the profile surface that looks

perfectly homogeneous

No influence on surrounding materials

GETREN P ® Series

OMS based sliding polymers provide a more

homogeneous surface than silicone oils

GETREN® P 3600 Surface looks homogeneously mat

although coated

GETREN ® P 3000 Surface looks always wet and oily

GETREN® P 3300 Surface looks homogeneously mat

although coated

Improved optical characteristics by intensifying the color strength of

treated rubber profiles

GETREN P ® Series

Rubber profiles coated with OMS have a

much better optical appearance

Self cleaning glasses are not being harmed

by our OMS based sliding polymers

No visible border formation

Contaminations with OMS based sliding

polymers can be easily removed

Source: www.henkel.de

if glass surfaces are contaminated by GETREN® P 3300 or P 3600,

they can be easily removed by using non-abrasive standard

detergent solutions, this needs to be done promptly before the

product dries out

GETREN® P 3600, being our eco-friendly

solution, offers even more advantages

GETREN® P 3600 does not contain any solvents or VOC substances.

It is 98 % biodegradable (as determined by the Zahn-Wellens-Test

OECD 302 B) by DIN EN ISO 9888 within 7 days.

That means no use of solvent resistant rubber gloves (e.g. nitril or fluorinated

rubber gloves) is necessary when wet profiles are handled.

Advantages during production

No exhaust system required

No static charging occurs

No fire hazard

No special storage conditions
