Empowering digitalization

NEXIPAL^® Sense is the gateway to smart, elastic sensing. It combines stretchable silicone elastomer films with conductive printed electrodes to form a highly elastic capacitor. Pressure or motion changes the component’s capacitance, which can be measured by an evaluation electronics. These highly sensitive sensors deliver very precise signals for medical technology, robotics, and sports.

With NEXIPAL^® Sense, WACKER is the world’s first company to enter serial production of elastic sensor electronics. Experience digital sensing – made scalable.

Empowering e-mobility

In electric vehicles, passenger safety and fire protection are paramount – making reliable busbar insulation a critical challenge. WACKER meets this challenge with ELASTOSIL® R 531/60. The newly launched high consistency rubber (HCR) is extrusion-processable, enabling cost-efficient sheathing. In response to thermal runaway, it ceramifies and forms an insulating layer that prevents short circuits.

Empowering energy transition

In the production of composite insulators, it’s all about precision and cost efficiency. Our novel solid silicone rubber revolutionizes production in the extrusion process through spiral extrusion. POWERSIL^® 1900 A/B allows for the highest precision in the production of large-scale hollow-core insulators at a comparatively low cost. It cuts weight by up to 80 %, ensures long-term hydrophobicity, and delivers outstanding arc resistance and mechanical durability.

Take your energy projects to the next level with POWERSIL^® 1900 A/B – and explore the future of high-voltage insulation.
