GW

GW is a sulfur modified solid chloroprene polymer stabilized with a thiuram disulfide. It has hot tear strength and good low temperature properties. It is suitable for  complex shaped molded goods. It is a tacky compound with lower compound viscosity. It can be used for Belting and Sponge (foam). It has better heat and compression set resistance than GN. It presents the best tack for frictioning application within the G Type products.It is designed for non-staining general purpose use. Raw polymer stability is good. Excessive time and temperature of storage can cause change in colour, decrease in viscosity, deterioration in scorch safety. For these reasons, it is recommended  GW be stored carefully, if possible, below 20ºC.
