ELASTOSIL® eco

Creating Solutions for a Better Future.

The silicone sealant that conserves fossil resources.

Versatile, High Quality, Durable and Sustainable!

Four properties – one promise of quality. We have enhanced our silicone portfolio with joint sealing compounds based on renewable raw materials – marketed under the name ELASTOSIL® eco. This lets us supply you with ready-to-use silicone sealants produced using plant-based biomethanol. These products are certified to the REDcert2 standard, which safeguards traceability of renewable raw materials along the entire WACKER production process – right up to the ready-mixed ELASTOSIL® eco product.

Our special topic looks at everything in detail: which target groups we are addressing, what applications are possible and what the first users and developers have said so far. Let’s take another step together into a greener future.

A Look Behind the Scenes.

How do we produce our premium silicone sealant using renewable raw materials? And, at what point does our ELASTOSIL® turn into ELASTOSIL® eco?

Interior Design

“I tried the new product and I have to say that its features are identical to conventional silicone sealants. It is wonderfully easy to work with, is very malleable, spreadable and it is odorless. Particularly in my branch, the painting sector, customers place a great deal of value on using sustainably produced paints. And this is why I see great potential in the future for this sustainably produced silicone sealant.”
