Wherever the health care sector requires a combination of good mechanical properties and medical safety, silicone-based WACKER products come top of the list.

Liquid silicone rubber is perfect for making molded parts, and ensures that the process is robust and that the end product is in proper working order.

ELASTOSIL^®silicones from WACKER satisfy all current food legislation and are thus the materials of choice for all applications involving direct and indirect food contact.

Thanks to their hydrophobic properties and weatherability, silicones are invaluable processing auxiliaries for applications where water quality is critical, especially in the drinking water and sanitary sectors.

Silicones not only have a diverse property profile. Unlike other flexible polymers, their properties are virtually unchanged by exposure to extreme conditions.

WACKER silicones are extremely flame-retardant, do not emit any toxins or halogens when burned, and are therefore preferred in safety-critical applications.

Plasticizer-free, hypoallergenic, flexible, hygienic and robust, ELASTOSIL^® silicones are the materials of choice for modern toys and baby products, such as pacifiers and teething rings.
