Encapsulating LED chips in silicone gels is becoming increasingly common – only silicones are sufficiently resistant to light and heat. These kinds of gels will be manufactured under cleanroom conditions at the new production site in Jincheon, South Korea.

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.

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.

The new PRIMIS^® AF 1000 for exterior applications is tested under real climatic conditions at WACKER’s outdoor weathering station in Dubai. In paint formulations, the new binder yields long-lasting, brilliant colors and leaves facades highly resistant to the elements.
