Description
GP-530 is a 100% active, modified silicone copolymer designed to provide lubrication between plastic and metal, or rubber and metal surfaces. The presence of ionic-alkyl groups in GP-530 provides a high degree of affinity to metal surfaces, therefore increasing lubricating and release characteristics at the metal/plastic or rubber interface. Because GP-530 is a silicone product, it exhibits excellent heat stability and will not break down or carbonize at normal operating conditions.

Applications
The primary application of GP-530 is as a metal/plastic lubricant such as a steel cable inside a plastic housing. GP-530 can also be used as a lubricant and/or release agent for the following industries:
- Rubber Molding
- Urethane Molding
- Epoxy Molding
- Textiles
Processing and Safety Guidelines
The silicone polymer used in GP-530 contains a dimethyl silicone structure, which can cause paint and adhesion problems, if not properly cleaned from molded parts. GP-530 may be diluted with aliphatic or aromatic solvents when desired.
Packaging/Handling/Storage
GP-530 is supplied in 5-gallon (18 kg.) pails, 55-gallon (200 kg.) drums and 330-gallon (1200 kg.) totes. Moisture Sensitive. Keep containers tightly sealed.
