WACKER® AK 60000

1 of 217 products in this brand
WACKER® AK 60000 is a linear, non-reactive polydimethylsiloxane with a viscosity of approximately 60000 mm²/s. Its chemical structure gives it an exceptional property profile that distinguishes it from organic materials like mineral oils. This clear, odorless, and colorless liquid exhibits minimal change in physical properties over a broad temperature range. It also demonstrates excellent water-repellent properties and good dielectric properties.
