Brands

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.

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.

The SILPURAN® product range comprises HTV solid and liquid silicone rubber (LSR), and room-temperature-vulcanizing grades (RTV-1 and RTV-2). These high-end silicone rubber grades meet the stringent demands of the health-care industry. All products have passed selected ISO 10993 and USP Class VI tests, and so also meet the high safety standards imposed by the health-care industry. The outstanding levels of purity needed for fulfilling the medical requirements of today and tomorrow are ensured by the WACKER CLEAN OPERATIONS program.

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.

Under the brand family GENIOSIL®, WACKER offers organofunctional silanes and innovative silane modified polymers for bonding and sealing. Their most outstanding property is the fact that they combine environmental advantages with performance benefits.

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.

GENIOPLAST® from WACKER are silicone-based additives and production aids for both standard thermoplastics and engineering plastics. GENIOPLAST® pellets and GENIOPLAST® additives for wood plastic composites (WPCs) enhance processes and products in the melt-processing industry.
