Brands

The SILRES® brand comprises a wide range of silicones for coatings, paints and construction applications. The portfolio has been developed and continuously improved since the 1950's when the first silicone resins for building protection originated in WACKER laboratories. It features not only time-tested and innovative products, but also tailored solutions for a host of applications, climates and substrates. And it is supported by a range of extensive services available from our technical centers worldwide which provide further customization and customer-specific options.

HDK® Pyrogenic silica is a mature product that WACKER has produced for over 50 years and is used by customers worldwide with great success. Thanks to our integrated production system with statistical process control and highly efficient reactor dynamics, we produce pyrogenic silica of exceptionally purity. With HDK® you get not only great product performance, but also tailored customer service.

SEMICOSIL® is WACKER's brand name for its silicone rubber grades developed for use in electronics applications. Each product is customized to the requirements of a specific application, resulting in a portfolio of highly specialized grades.

WACKER SilGel® comprises highly transparent, silicone rubber compounds that cure to form silicone gels. They stand out due to their low viscosity and strong inherent tack, often rendering a primer or adhesion promoter superfluous. All products can be fully automatically processed in mixing and metering units, and are ideal for efficient mass production. WACKER SilGel® products are addition-curing, RTV-2-silicone elastomers that cure both at room temperature and at higher temperatures.

ELASTOSIL® is an all-rounder for countless applications. Silicone rubbers consist essentially of silicone polymers and fillers. They cure at high temperature (HTV/LSR grades) or room temperature (RTV grades) with suitable reactants, forming a three-dimensional structure and transforming the uncured compound in a plastic state into an elastomeric rubber. Silicone elastomers are flexible at low temperatures and resistant to heat and aging (UV radiation and ozone). They are easy to process and have good mechanical properties that remain unchanged over a wide temperature range. They have a neutral taste and are biologically unreactive.

LUMISIL® products are silicone solutions for high-performance LEDs. The LUMISIL® product range consists of high-performance silicones designed to meet the most exacting demands in the fields of LED production, secondary optics and lighting technology. LUMISIL® products all offer compelling properties: they support highly efficient, low-cost production and feature optimized flow and crosslinking behavior as well as high light resistance. LUMISIL® is supplied in various forms for processing to lenses by dispensing/jetting, transfer molding and injection molding.
