WACKER® Silicone Paste P

1 of 217 products in this brand
WACKER® Silicone Paste P is a translucent, vaseline-like paste that has a relatively stiff consistency and provides water repellency. When applied to parts, WACKER® Silicone Paste P offers excellent water repellency, which helps protect against corrosion. The paste also becomes softer when subjected to shear stress or other mechanical stress, such as kneading. This softening effect often makes the processing of the paste easier.

Application Details
  • Assembly aid and lubricant for elastomers, especially O-rings.
  • WACKER SILICONE PASTE P is easy to apply. There is no dripping as when using oil. Larger parts are greased with the pure paste by hand or with a brush; smaller parts in large quantities are put into a plastic bag with some paste and kneaded until the paste has been distributed over their surfaces. Silicon pastes have a slight swelling effect on most organic elastomers. For lubricating purposes and as assembly aid for materials with critical swelling characteristics we would, however, recommend using silicone product POWERSIL® PASTE AP, which is especially designed for causing low swelling of bordering elastomers.
  • Heat-resistance release agent for :
    • Extruder die rings
    • Slightly porous surfaces of molds for demoulding rubber and plastics moldings and cast resin parts
    • Heat-sealing instruments such as used for Packaging Film, where a thin film of WACKER® SILICONE PASTE P applied to the welding bars prevents sticking
