WACKER Unveils Expanded Silanes Portfolio at Compounding World Expo

Wacker Chemical Corporation (WCC) is making waves at the Compounding World Expo North America, happening on November 12-13 in Cleveland, Ohio. This year, WACKER showcases its impressive range of products under two notable brands, GENIOSIL® and GENIOPLAST®, which are set to revolutionize adhesive, sealant, and plastic formulations.

A Look at GENIOSIL®

The GENIOSIL® line consists of organofunctional silanes designed to significantly enhance the efficacy of various materials. These compounds serve as molecular bridges, increasing compatibility between organic polymers and inorganic materials like pigments, fillers, and substrates. The result is a remarkable improvement in processing capabilities, enhanced filler dispersion, reduced viscosity, and superb storage stability.

Manufacturers will benefit from the mechanical strength and resilience these silanes provide, offering greater adhesion and improved resistance to moisture and chemicals. This versatility makes GENIOSIL® an ideal choice for industries focused on durability, as it meets the demand for high-performance formulations while ensuring environmental sustainability.

Spotlight on GENIOPLAST®

Alongside the GENIOSIL® brand, WACKER also presents GENIOPLAST®, which includes silicone-based additives and production aids specifically engineered to enhance both processing and the mechanical properties of thermoplastics. The innovative GENIOPLAST® Pellet P Plus stands out as an FDA-compliant additive perfect for food contact applications, including polypropylene (PP) and BOPP films. This product optimizes flow during processing, acting as an effective slip agent, enhancing the surface quality of finished products without sacrificing performance.

Another highlight is GENIOPLAST® PELLET 345, facilitating improved flow and mechanical properties in thermoplastic elastomers, especially for applications in the food industry. Its non-toxic, odorless characteristics ensure compliance with rigorous safety standards, which is crucial for manufacturers involved in food packaging and consumer goods.

Additionally, WACKER has developed GENIOPLAST® PP50S12 and GENIOPLAST® PE50S08, specialized silicone-based additives designed to enhance surface quality and processing of polypropylene (PP) and polyethylene (PE) products respectively. These innovations not only improve aesthetic qualities but also increase durability, providing manufacturers with products that meet modern consumer demands.
