WACKER® FG 350
- Chemical Family
- Siloxanes
WACKER® FG 350 is a polydimethylsiloxane that is produced through the hydrolysis and polycondensation of dichlorodimethylsilane and chlorotrimethylsilane. The mean kinematic viscosity of WACKER® FG 350 at 25°C is 350mm²/s, determined by the degree of polymerization (n). This product is primarily used to control foam in lipophilic systems, particularly in foods rich in oil or fat, such as deep-frying oil. It is also utilized for surface treatment. Additionally, WACKER® FG 350 serves as a base material for producing antifoams that comply with the regulations for food intended for human consumption.
