Processing

Due to WACKER AK 5000 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 5000 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 5000 is soluble in any proportion.
