Applications
ELASTOSIL® silicone elastomers are the ideal choice for automotive electrical connectors due to their physical, mechanical, and insulation properties. They ensure a safe and reliable power supply with excellent chemical resistance, insulation, and thermal-cycling resistance.
We offer a wide range of silicone elastomers for wire harness applications, which are in growing demand with the increase in automotive electronics and the number of sensors installed.
ELASTOSIL® silicone elastomers are also used for muffler hangers. They can absorb mechanical vibrations and keep the muffler safely away from the underside of the vehicle without transferring heat. Their high damping effect also helps reduce noise levels.
ELASTOSIL® silicone elastomers can maintain tear strength and continue to function reliably under the extreme temperature and pressure conditions of turbocharger and radiator hoses.
ELASTOSIL® silicone elastomer coatings are used to improve and maintain the reliability of chest, head, and curtain airbags.
Wacker's products, including silicone fluids, resins, and waxes, provide excellent solutions for car care. They deliver ease of application, buffing performance, gloss, color vibrancy, water repellency, and weather resistance.
ELASTOSIL® silicone elastomers provide ideal damping in all kinds of mechanisms. They are particularly effective at damping mechanical vibrations in vehicles. Their damping effect also helps reduce noise. Wacker's silicone elastomers are specifically designed to counteract frequencies where unwanted vibrations occur.
By encapsulating electronic circuits with silicone, you can protect devices from moisture and dust and improve their durability.
Silicone adhesives have many excellent properties, including high adhesion and flexibility.
Silicone sealants offer excellent weather, heat, and cold resistance, maintaining superior sealing performance even under severe conditions.
Wacker offers a wide range of additives, processing aids, and modifiers for various materials and processes.
