WACKER AK 5 SILICONE FLUID is an ultra-low viscosity linear silicone fluid in Wacker’s AK series, designed for precision instrument lubrication, industrial rapid defoaming, low-voltage insulation, cosmetic texture improvement and textile smoothing. With high bond energy Si–O framework, it has wide temperature stability, strong hydrophobicity and low volatility, excellent fluidity and dispersibility.
Ultra-low viscosity & easy dispersion - Extremely fluid, easy to add and mix, suitable for fine formula processing
Chemically inert & stable - Non-reactive, acid-alkali and oxidation resistant, compatible with most substrates and solvents
Excellent wide-temperature resistance - Stable work from -60℃ to 300℃, radiation resistant and not easy to thermally degrade
Low volatility & shear durability - Extremely low volatility, good shear stability, minimal loss in long-term use
Superior surface performance - Low surface tension, hydrophobic and anti-stick, with both lubrication and smoothing effects
Precision lubrication - Lubrication of small precision instruments and electronic components, reducing friction loss
Industrial defoaming - Rapid bubble breaking in anhydrous/low-water systems, suitable for chemical and pharmaceutical scenarios
Low-voltage insulation - Insulation of low-voltage electrical components, stable performance in high and low temperature environments
Cosmetic addition - Improve skin feel, enhance product smoothness and freshness
Textile finishing - Fabric smoothing and anti-sticking finishing, improving hand feel and wearing performance

Q1: What is the primary function of WACKER AK 5 Silicone Oil in formulations?
A: WACKER AK 5 Silicone Oil is a low-viscosity, reactive silicone fluid primarily used as a surface modifier and processing aid to improve slip, leveling, and substrate wetting in coatings, inks, adhesives, and sealants.
Q2: Is WACKER AK 5 Silicone Oil compatible with common polymer systems?
A: Yes — it demonstrates good compatibility with acrylics, polyurethanes, alkyds, and epoxy resins. Its reactive functionality allows for covalent incorporation into crosslinking networks, reducing the risk of migration or bloom over time.
Q3: How should WACKER AK 5 Silicone Oil be incorporated into a formulation?
A: It is typically added during the let-down or post-addition stage under moderate agitation. Due to its reactivity, avoid prolonged high-temperature exposure prior to full formulation integration to preserve functional integrity.
Q4: Does WACKER AK 5 Silicone Oil require special handling or storage conditions?
A: Store in tightly sealed containers at room temperature, away from moisture and strong oxidizing agents. While not classified as hazardous for transport, standard industrial hygiene practices — including adequate ventilation and avoidance of prolonged skin contact — are recommended.
