WACKER® AK 5
WACKER® AK 5 is a linear, non-reactive polydimethylsiloxane with a viscosity of approximately 5 mm²/s. Its chemical structure gives WACKER® AK 5 exceptional properties that distinguish it from organic materials like mineral oils. It is chemically highly unreactive, has a low solidifying point, and exhibits high heat resistance.
