One of the novelties WACKER will show at EXPOBOR 2014 is ELASTOSIL^® LR 3022/60. Coolant- and heat-resistant, the new liquid silicone rubber is especially suitable for producing gaskets for installation in engine cooling systems.

Gypsum-based building materials formulated with SILRES^® BS POWDER S are thoroughly water-repellent. Gypsum plasters and the jointing compounds used in drywall building are protected from water and thus against irreversible damage.

The ready-to-use silicone sealants in the General Purpose (GP) and General Sanitary (GS) product lines offer excellent adhesion to porous and non-porous substrates and are suitable for numerous high-quality construction applications.

Drainage concrete modified with ETONIS^® 260 is spread between and beside tracks and thus provides rescue vehicles and fire trucks with fast access to rail-road tunnels. The new concrete is quick to put down, extremely durable and stable, and thus ideal for applications in road, tunnel and under-ground construction (photo: Wacker Chemie AG, courtesy of Deutsche Bahn AG).
