| Product description: WACKER® AK 20 is a linear, non-reactive polydimethylsiloxane with a viscosity of approx. 20 mm²/s. Due to its chemical structure, WACKER® AK 20 has an outstanding property profile, which sets it apart from organic materials such as mineral oils. Properties: WACKER® AK 20 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 heat resistance
- good solubility in a wide range of solvents
Application:- release agent
- lubricant
- hydraulic fluid
- antifoam agent
- liquid dielectric for electrical and electronic equipment
- heat-transfer oil
- polish additive
- additive for textile and fiber auxiliaries
For pharmaceutical applications, manufacturer recommends specialty 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, the 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.Information provided by Wacker Chemie AG. |
