The efficient active ingredients and auxiliary substances in the WACKER SILFAR^® range of antifoam agents ensure high pharmaceutical quality and meet the highest regulatory standards across the board. Our special silicone-based products from the SILFAR^® product line have long served as active ingredients and auxiliary substances in human and veterinary medicine. Some pharmaceuticals – such as anti-flatulence preparations – and medical products would not be available at all or could not be manufactured without SILFAR^® simethicones and dimethicones.

Across the board, our products meet the legal regulations laid down the monographs of the European Pharmacopoeia (Ph. Eur.) and the US Pharmacopeia (USP/NF) .
