Solutions engineered for a range of applications
- Mold Making -- ELASTOSIL® silicone elastomers for mold making yield highly accurate reproductions and are highly resistant to common reproduction materials. Applications of ELASTOSIL® M and RT range from arts and crafts to industrial mass production.
- Bonding & Sealing -- Room-temperature vulcanizing silicone elastomers from WACKER provide reliable protection against external influences to ensure functional reliability of electrical and electronic components. Applications include potting, bonding, sealing and coating.
- Thermal management -- Low-stress solutions like thermal pads and pastes based on WACKER's ELASTOSIL® and SEMICOSIL® efficiently dissipate heat even for complicated shapes. They protect key components such as transformers and power semiconductor devices against environmental influences.
WACKER silicones offer ideal performance properties such as:
Heat and low-temperature resistance
Function as sealants, insulators, lubricants and release agents
Extremely durable and flexible
Water-repellent
UV-resistant
