Brands in Finishing Additives & Treatments

SILFOAM® is WACKER’s innovative brand for smart foam control products. It covers silicone-based integrated system solutions for regulatingfoam-intensive applications, and thereby optimizing processes and end products. SILFOAM® foam-control systems are the result of a continuous process of applied R&D. SILFOAM® is carefully tested for its compatibility and effectiveness in the customer's formulations, thereby avoiding overfoaming in advance.

SILFAR® is the name of WACKER’s range of silicone-based products specifically intended for the pharmaceutical and food industries, as well as for use in fermentation and other biotech processes. SILFAR® products feature outstanding chemical resistance. They are not resorbed in the digestive tract, and are therefore not metabolized. They are colorless and odorless.

CEDEPHOS is the acid form of a complex mixture of mono- and di-phosphate esters based on an aliphatic hydrophobe. This anionic surfactant offers the combination of exceptional alkali solubility with excellent coupling ability for nonionics in liquid formulations. It is used in heavy-duty, alkaline industrial detergent systems, textile wet processing, pulp deresination, dedusting agents and corrosion inhibitors.

CSR™ is a versatile modified alkali system that can be effectively used in place of sodium hydroxide and potassium hydroxide as a cleaning and neutralization agent. It is unique because it has a freeze point of -40°F (-40°C) and 30 minutes of skin protection on contact.

Kauramin impregnating resins are condensates of urea and formaldehyde and are used for the coating of laminate. They are characterized by their particular visual appearance as well as by excellent adhesiveness and high scratch resistance.

Michem Dispersion Urethanes are water based polyurethane dispersions that can enhance toughness, scratch resistance, water resistance and flexibility of coatings. Michem Dispersion Urethanes are useful for industrial wood, concrete, and metal substrates.

AntiPro EP-3M is a very low foaming surfactant system that is readily soluble in 50% Caustic Soda solutions without the need for prolonged mixing or heating. In addition, it is also stable in mineral acids including hydrochloric, phosphoric and nitric acids.

MagnaPearl® is a range of mica-based titanium-coated pigments that exhibit a high degree of whiteness combined with brilliance and hiding. They are available in a wide variety of particle sizes creating extraordinary optical effects ranging from a fine-grained luster to a bold silvery-white sparkle. MagnaPearl® effect pigments are pearlescent pigments that are specially engineered. They are available in a variety of particle sizes. BTC’s effect pigments find use in a wide field for the coloration of plastics. They are also suitable for a variety of other industries including the automotive industry as well as the agriculture, building & construction, electrical & electronics, packaging, and textiles & fibers industries. They find also applications in newly emerging markets.

SYNTHRO®-NYL is a fire-proofing agent developed for cellulosic materials (paper, cardboard, wood). It can be advantageously used on Kraft papers.It is totally boron and halogen free.It does not emit ammonia.

Naxonac® products include anionic surfactants, one of the main advantages of phosphate esters is their stability and solubility in alkali systems. They can be used as hydrotropes to couple nonionic surfactants systems which are not soluble and at the same time increase wetting and detergency properties. The presence of the phosphate group imparts some interactions with metallic surfaces, thereby exhibiting some anti-corrosion and metal-adhesion characteristics. They can be used as additives in oil and water-soluble lubricant systems to improve lubricity, anti-frictional properties of the formula. Phosphate esters also find use as emulsifiers in emulsion polymerization.
