WACKER® AK 10000

WACKER® AK 10000 is a linear, non-reactive polydimethylsiloxane with a viscosity of approximately 10000 mm²/s. Its chemical structure gives it an exceptional property profile that distinguishes it from organic materials like mineral oils. It possesses good dielectric properties, low surface tension resulting in high surface activity, and it is chemically highly unreactive.

Application Details
  • Due to WACKER® AK 10000 many diverse applications, no general processing information can be provided.
  • Parameters will vary from application to application.
  • Available in a range of viscosities, WACKER® SILICONE FLUIDS AK are miscible with each other in any ratio.
  • The standard product's viscosity can thus be altered to suit your individual needs.
  • WACKER® AK 10000 is a non-polar liquid and is immiscible with polar solvents such as water or short-chain alcohols.
  • In aliphatic and aromatic hydrocarbons, chlorohydrocarbons, ethers, esters, ketones and higher alcohols, WACKER® AK 10000 is soluble in any proportion.
  • Before the product is used with solvents for the first time, it is advisable to perform a lab-scale test.
  • When solvents are used, please remember to read the appropriate hazard information.
