The Center of Electronics Excellence (COEE) in Pangyo, South Korea, where WACKER develops specialty silicones for the automotive, lighting and electronics industries. Production of these silicones will be transferred to the new site in Jincheon.

The drop test proves that textiles that have been treated with WETSOFT^® NE 750 are extremely absorbent. The emulsion penetrates to the base of the fabric, even with a long pile, which facilitates water uptake. Re-dying of the material is not a problem.

The new softener WETSOFT^® NE 750 is ideal for primary finishing of towels and high-quality materials. The treatment yields textiles that are full and soft yet absorbent. The hydrophilic fabric softener is available as a water-free concentrate with a high solids content.

Highly motivated for the German finals: the winners of Bavaria’s “Young Scientists” competition were honored by State Chancellery Minister Dr. Marcel Huber (far right) and WACKER Executive Board member Auguste Willems (second from left) at Munich’s Prinz-Carl-Palais.

The heat-conducting SEMICOSIL^{® 9}61 TC silicone filler from WACKER is applied directly to the heat sink. Once the electrical circuit is pressed on, the gap filler cures to form a soft, cushioning silicone layer that optimally transfers heat to the heat sink.
