ELASTOSIL® eco
Solutions for a Better Tomorrow
The sustainable silicone sealant
Versatile, high quality, durable and sustainable!
Four properties – one promise of quality. We have enhanced our silicone portfolio with joint sealing compounds which are manufactured based on the mass balance approach and marketed under the name ELASTOSIL® eco. This lets us supply you with ready-to-use silicone sealants produced using plant-based biomethanol. These products are certified to the REDcert2 standard, which safeguards traceability of renewable raw materials along the entire WACKER production process – from quartz right up to the finished silicone sealant, ELASTOSIL® eco.
Let’s take another step together into a greener future. We offer an initial insight here with this in-depth article including user testimonials and experiences.

Kitchen design
“Sustainable solutions are increasingly being requested in my day-to-day work. With ELASTOSIL® eco, I can offer my customers an additional option to keep the use of fossil raw materials to an absolute minimum. And also to pass on WACKER’s promise of quality at the highest level to my customers.”
Engelbert Haindl, owner of Haindl Küchen, specialist for creative kitchen design
Interior design
“I tried the new product and I have to say that its features are identical to conventional silicone sealants. It's wonderfully easy to work with, it's very malleable and spreadable, and it's odorless. Particularly in my field, in the painting sector, customers place a great deal of value on using sustainably produced paints, And this is why I see great potential in the future for this sustainably produced silicone sealant.”
Markus Ströter, master painter & certified paints and coatings technician
This is what our employees say
Protect resources, save energy, increase product life. With ELASTOSIL® eco, sustainable building is possible across the entire life cycle – from production right up to the finished building.
We support our customers in all issues relating to sustainability. Packaging is also an important aspect – the more products that end up in recycled packaging, the better it is for the environment. That’s why we offer our customers the option of switching to this more sustainable solution. ELASTOSIL® eco is the most sustainable solution on the market – together with PCR cartridges, we go one step further.
