K 2019 Trade Fair for Plastics and RubberWACKER Presents Liquid and Solid Silicone Rubber Grades with Enhanced Product and Processing Properties

Munich, October 16, 2019 – WACKER, the Munich-based chemical group, will showcase numerous silicone-based innovations at K 2019, the International Trade Fair for Plastics and Rubber. Key new products include fire-resistant silicone elastomers, self-adhesive silicone rubber grades with extremely low-friction surfaces and ultrathin silicone laminates for electroactive applications. The focus will also be on liquid silicone rubber grades that, thanks to their greatly reduced volatiles content, do not necessarily require post-curing and thus unlock various advantages. A new silicone-based additive will also be making its debut, allowing compounders of thermoplastic elastomers to produce softer and more dirt-repellent plastics. Tradeshow visitors should make sure not to miss ACEO®’s new 3D silicone printing technology. With multimaterial printing, novel auto-control and several technical enhancements in terms of both freedom of design and precision, the latest printer generation is setting new standards. The K 2019 trade fair takes place in Düsseldorf, Germany, from October 16 to 23.
