Thank You for Attending:
9th Conference on Silicone Insulation, May 22–23, 2024
What kind of trends are affecting the field of electrical insulators? Why are silicones the perfect material for insulating electrical components? How does your specific application or company benefit from the unique properties of silicones? You’ll get the answers at the 9th Conference on Silicone Insulation (CSI), taking place from May 22 to May 23, 2024 in Burghausen, Germany.
Listen to Our CSI Experts
At WACKER, we strongly believe in and support a vivid exchange of expert knowledge. That’s why WACKER ACADEMY organizes its Conference on Silicone Insulation (CSI) every two years. CSI is a specialist forum that provides an ideal platform for discussing new technologies and trends in detail with fellow experts.
