WACKER® AK 50

1 of 217 products in this brand
WACKER® AK 50 is a linear, non-reactive polydimethylsiloxane with a viscosity of approximately 50 mm²/s. Its unique chemical structure gives WACKER® AK 50 a remarkable set of properties that distinguish it from organic materials like mineral oils. These include low surface tension, resulting in high surface activity, exceptional chemical inertness, and a low solidifying point.

Processing

  • Due to WACKER AK 50 many diverse applications, no general processing information can be provided.
  • Parameters will vary from application to application.
  • Available in a range of viscosities, WACKER® SILICONE FLUIDS AK are miscible with each other in any ratio.
  • The standard product's viscosity can thus be altered to suit your individual needs.
  • WACKER® AK 50 is a non-polar liquid and is immiscible with polar solvents such as water or short-chain alcohols.
  • In aliphatic and aromatic hydrocarbons, chlorohydrocarbons, ethers, esters, ketones and higher alcohols, WACKER® AK 50 is soluble in any proportion.
