Adhesives.An adhesive/sealant product available from the company is said to combine seemingly contradictory properties, those of silicones and those allowing painting and varnishing, in a single product. The novel product consists of a polyether pol·y·e·ther n. A polymer in which the repeating unit contains two carbon atoms linked by an oxygen atom. which combines silicone properties with completely new ones, such as paintability, to create a high-quality, permanently flexible adhesive/sealant. The product, Geniosil N 550, is a silane-terminated polymer. It is free of isocyanates and solvents, and is said to provide excellent adhesion. Geniosil N 550 is water repellent re·pel·lent adj. Capable of driving off or repelling. n. A substance used to drive off or keep away insects. repellent able to repel or drive off; also, an agent that repels. Refers usually to insect repellent. , UV and weathering resistant, which is said to make it ideally suited for tough outdoor applications. A further advantage is said to be that it does not release any volatile siloxane siloxane /si·lox·ane/ (si-lok´san) any of various compounds based on a substituted backbone of alternating silica and oxygen molecules; in polymeric form they are polysiloxanes, and when the side chain substituents are organic radicals, compounds. Geniosil N 550 can also be varnished in any color. Wacker Wacker may refer to:
