WACKER® AK 2000

CAS Number
9006-65-9
EC Number
618-433-4
Chemical Name
Polydimethylsiloxane
Chemical Family
Siloxanes

WACKER® AK 2000 is a linear, non-reactive polydimethylsiloxane with a viscosity of approximately 2000 mm²/s. Its chemical structure gives it an exceptional property profile that distinguishes it from organic materials like mineral oils. It possesses good dielectric properties, has low surface tension, resulting in high surface activity, and is chemically highly unreactive.
