Ensinger PEI
Wacker Wacker® AK 1000 US Food Grade/Kosher Silicone Fluid
Categories: Fluid; Polymer; Thermoset; Silicone

Material Notes: US made AK 1000 US is a linear, non-reactive polydimethylsiloxane with a viscosity of approx. 1000 mm²/s. Due to its chemical structure, AK 1000 US has an outstanding property profile, which sets it apart from organic materials such as mineral oils. AK 1000 US is suitable for food contact use as indicated in Title 21 of the Code of Federal Regulations subject to the total extractive limits as specified in the regulation.

Properties: AK 1000 US is a clear, odorless and colorless liquid.

Special features:

  • minimal change in physical properties over a broad temperature range
  • excellent water-repellent properties
  • good dielectric properties
  • low surface tension and thus high surface activity
  • chemically highly unreactive
  • low solidifying point
  • high flash point
  • high heat resistance
  • good solubility in a wide range of solvents
Application:
  • release agent
  • lubricant
  • hydraulic fluid
  • antifoam agent
  • water-repellent agent
  • liquid dielectric for electrical and electronic equipment
  • heat-transfer oil
  • polish additive
  • plastics additive
  • additive for textile and fiber auxiliaries
For pharmaceutical applications, manufacturer recommends silicone fluids from the SILFAR® line. Silicone fluids from the BELSIL® line are available for the cosmetic sector. Whenever particularly high heat and shear resistance is required, manufacturer recommends silicone fluids from the AK stab, AK visc and AKC product lines. Specialty grades of the product (available as WACKER® PLASTICIZER) will be needed for use as a silicone plasticizer in RTV-1 sealants.
