Wacker Chemie A.G. is assigning additional marketing rights to its sales partner, Silspek Rubber, for the sale of high-temperature-curing silicones.

 

Wacker said it is allowing the Polish silicone compounder to market ready-to-use silicone rubber compounds based on Wacker raw materials with the label “Based on Elastosil.” This also applies to products distributed under the company’s own label. The main customers for silicone compounds are rubber processors that manufacture molded parts for the automotive, construction, electronics, cable and household-goods industries.

 

When manufacturing silicone compounds, crosslinkers, pigments and other additives are mixed into the rubber base. These kinds of ready-to-use compounds find application in many industrial areas. Application fields range from gaskets, molded parts and cable insulation to rubber-coated rolls in photocopiers.
