Non-Impact Printing

HDK^® pyrogenic silica and ELASTOSIL^® silicone elastomers are essential additives for electrophotographic processes.

Printer and Copier Rollers

ELASTOSIL^® silicones in various degrees of hardness ensure a sufficiently large contact area (nip) and a defined period of contact between the toner and the fuser unit.

Benefits:

Low compression set
High thermal conductivity
Electrical conductivity
Self-deaeration
Long-term consistency
High tear resistance

Applications:

Production of pressure rollers
Fusing process
Transport and processing of toner particles on paper

Fuser Fluids

WACKER AKF silicone fluids prevent the transfer of toner to the rollers and extend the service life of expensive fuser rollers.

Depending on the specific requirements, WACKER offers different fluids of high-purity and extremely low VOC content, including:

Methylsilicones
Organic, modified aminosilicones
Mercaptosilicones

Benefits:

Hyperpure quality
Extremely low VOC content

Applications:

Release agents for the fusing process

Toners

HDK^® pyrogenic silica supports toner transfer and image quality. WACKER supplies an innovative class of products for the toner market. These products include pyrogenic silicas with high and low specific surface areas (BET), pretreated in different ways and positively or negatively charged using triboelectric methods.

Benefits:

Hyperpure quality
Improved processing
Toner stability
Toner flow
Toner chargeability

Applications:

Conventional toners
Chemical toners
