Technical Textiles

Silicones are suitable for coating almost any kind of fabric. The art of formulation requires a great deal of experience and creativity, and a wealth of knowledge about relevant chemical and processing relationships. This is an area in which WACKER’s technical service excels: we will help you with the often tricky task of matching product, coating system and substrate to obtain the best results.

Applications:

  • Expansion joints
  • Multifunctional conveyor belts
  • Protective hose (fabric and braided hose)
  • Fire curtains
  • Textile heat shields
  • Textile-reinforced bellows

Benefits:

  • Resistance to extreme temperatures (-50 to 200 °C) and chemicals
  • Radiation, weathering and aging resistance
  • Outstanding chemical and mechanical strength
  • Flame-retardant
  • No evolution of toxic gases in event of fire
  • Electrically conducting or isolating
  • Suitable for food contact
  • Outstanding adhesion to textile material
  • Sterilizable
  • Anti-slip properties
