SILPURAN^®6760/50 is a self-adhesive liquid silicone rubber (LSR) which has a low-friction surface after curing. Tests show that the product’s coefficient of friction is 50 to 70 percent lower than that of standard LSRs with a comparable hardness. The Munich-based chemical company is premiering the new product at this year’s COMPAMED trade show.

Self-adhesive SILPURAN^® 6760/50 liquid silicone rubber was specifically developed for medical-technology and pharmaceutical applications. After curing, it has good mechanical properties and a low-friction surface.

New pilot reactor for VAE dispersions at WACKER’s fully integrated Nanjing site: the new facility will allow WACKER to expand its local research and development activities in China and grow its regional portfolio of product development, application technology and customer services.

WACKER produces HDK^® pyrogenic silica at Burghausen and Nünchritz in Germany and Zhangjiagang in China. The Munich-based chemical company is the world’s third-largest manufacturer in this sector.

Practical test at the new food lab: WACKER’s regional competence center in Singapore now has a laboratory dedicated to innovative food ingredients, dietary supplements and gumbase applications, e.g. for fat-free desserts, egg-free bakery goods, vegan meat flavors or highly bioavailable curcumin.
