Energy, Electrics & Electronics

Silicones ensure that electrical and electronic components function reliably and safely. Used in a wide range of industrial applications, silicones bond and seal. They thus afford reliable protection against external influences such as dirt, moisture, radiation and heat.

Thanks to their electrically insulating, heat-resistant, water-repellent, weather- and radiation-resistant properties, silicone resins are the preferred binders for innovative electrical insulation materials.

Modern power transmission and distribution networks must offer high performance while being cost-effective. POWERSIL^® silicone elastomers, fluids and gels are based on customer-oriented R&D, thus offering an impressive product portfolio.

Silicone rubber is used as an insulating material in a great many industrial-grade cables and lines. It is the preferred choice whenever a high standard of electrical, mechanical and safety properties is needed.

ESA-compliant, low-outgassing adhesives from WACKER – that remain flexible at any temperature and are radiation resistant – provide secure bonding of solar cells and cover glasses in solar generators.

SEMICOSIL^® silanes are key materials for the manufacture of existing and next-generation electronic devices. Their high purity and an extremely low concentration of metal impurities make them ideal products for all processes in the semiconductor sector.

HDK^® pyrogenic silica from WACKER offers excellent thermal insulation within a very broad temperature range and is therefore the preferred material for producing highly efficient thermal insulation systems.
