Conserving Resources: WACKER Uses Biomethanol in the Manufacture of Silicone-Based Textile Softeners

Munich, February 2, 2022 – The Munich-based chemical Group WACKER is now applying its resource-efficient silicones
production concept to the manufacture of textile softeners. With immediate effect, three functional silicone fluids are available as “eco” products: WETSOFT® eco LV 810, WACKER® FINISH eco WR 1100 LV and WACKER® FINISH eco WR 1300 LV. Instead of fossil methanol, WACKER uses plant-based methanol for the manufacture of these products. The method, which is based on the biomass balance method used in production, has now been certified by TÜV Nord according to the REDcert² standard.
