Data sheets
For pharmaceutical applications, we recommend specialty silicone fluids from our SILFAR® line. Silicone fluids from our BELSIL® line are available for the cosmetic sector. Whenever particularly high heat and shear resistance is required, we recommend silicone fluids from our AK stab, AK visc and AKC product lines. Specialty grades of the product (available as WACKER® PLASTICIZER) will be needed for use as a silicone plasticizer in RTV-1 sealants.
Due to AK 350 many diverse applications, no general processing information can be provided. Parameters will vary from application to application. Available in a range of viscosities, WACKER® SILICONE FLUIDS AK are miscible with each other in any ratio. The standard product's viscosity can thus be altered to suit your individual needs. AK 350 is a non-polar liquid and is immiscible with polar solvents such as water or short-chain alcohols. In aliphatic and aromatic hydrocarbons, chlorohydrocarbons, ethers, esters, ketones and higher alcohols, AK 350 is soluble in any proportion. Before the product is used with solvents for the first time, it is advisable to perform a lab-scale test. When solvents are used, please remember to read the appropriate hazard information.
