Over five centuries of exposure to wind and weather has however increasingly left its mark on the garden’s rocks. To remedy the situation, the rocks have now been treated with an alkyl silicate from WACKER's SILRES® product family.
Electric Vehicles Come of Age
There are a billion cars on the world’s roads today, and the trend is upward. In Europe alone, traffic accounts for a fourth of carbon dioxide emissions. This is why ecological mobility strategies are becoming ever more important. Hybrid drives, which rely on numerous WACKER products, can help to reduce emissions.
Safely Tucked Away
Some nutritional supplements are good for our health, but their ingredients don’t really taste that good.

Cyclodextrins also protect sensitive substances from environmental influences.
