Technical center Japan
Technical Center Tsukuba is where formulations aimed at customers in Japan are improved and brought to production readiness. Nine test laboratories help to match the properties of the substances to the required profiles and ensure a clean start to production.
Optimized silicone formulations for different applications
In particular, parameter-relevant silicone-based formulations are optimized, including silicone emulsions and fluids, silicone elastomers (LSR, RTV and HTV) as well as sealants, adhesives and bonding systems.
Solutions for thermal management, notably silicone-based thermal interface materials for gap filler and potting applications, are also optimized. This allows targeted improvements to be made in respect of heat dissipation, process windows and long-term stability.
The solutions are designed for industries that impose strict demands on material performance and process reliability, such as the electronics and construction industries, as well as for consumer-related applications, such as household, personal care, textiles, release coatings and sealants.
Tsukuba site, Japan
Wacker Asahikasei Silicone Co., Ltd. in Tsukuba offers customers in Japan technical support and dedicated application development. The site contains production plants for various silicone rubber products, a Technical Center and a branch of the WACKER ACADEMY.
Useful information for your applications
The WACKER ACADEMY in Tsukuba offers a comprehensive theoretical and practical seminar program and one-on-one discussions with our technical teams. The focus is on applications for specialty silicones, such as textile processing, optical LED lenses, sealants for the electronic industry and much more.

Our services
Local experts
We take account of the special requirements of the Japanese and Asian markets as we assist you with optimizing and developing your formulations. We combine our understanding of materials and processes with proximity to the local market to develop solutions that work reliably under your specific conditions.
Training and seminars in the WACKER ACADEMY
Our seminars, workshops and laboratory training sessions deliver practical know-how on all aspects of processing, application and error prevention. These events are held either in Tsukuba or online and are tailored to your level of knowledge and your specific challenges.
Technical service
You benefit from solutions matched to your local requirements, standards and processes. We analyze underlying causes, derive specific corrective measures, adapt formulations where necessary and provide support with implementation. This means that processes are stable right on startup and unplanned downtimes are avoided.
Application tests and development
We conduct extensive tests to determine the material response under defined application and process conditions so that we can identify the right formulation for your application. In the case of LSR, RTV-2 and HTV, for example, we test the pot life, flow properties and curing profile under realistic conditions to ensure that metering and potting function reliably and reproducibly during production runs.
Scaling and reproducibility
Realistic preparation and evaluation of the mixing and processing conditions, as well as the use of suitable test equipment, ensure that laboratory results can be reliably scaled up to pilot and production levels. This creates comparability, reduces risk during ramp-up and increases process reliability.
