WACKER silicones are used in the economic exploitation of wind power, and are impressive for their high resistance to extreme temperature shocks, weathering and enviromental effects, as well as their versatility of processing:
- for encapsulation of sensitive electrical components
- for use in various sealants and adhesives
- for cooling and for electrical insulation of novel high-temperature operating transformers
- for the production of composite materials by means of reusable silicone system solutions
The wind turbines of windmills consist of composite shells that are bonded together. HDK
® pyrogenic silica is used to control the rheology of the widely used epoxy or vinyl-ester adhesives.
