From Wacker Chemie news, on May 7, the Munich-based Wacker Chemie Group stated that it is now applying its pioneering environmentally friendly silicone production technology to release coating products. WACKER’s DEHESIVE® eco series of silicone release agents are produced entirely using non-petrochemical methanol from renewable raw materials, which can effectively save resources. WACKER is currently the only manufacturer that can provide non-petrochemical silicone release agents for label and film coating manufacturers.
The WACKER Group uses plant-based and petrochemical methanol to produce organic silicon, and can calculate the amount and proportion of non-petrochemical methanol in the corresponding product series. The method used is similar to the German green power certification system.
DEHESIVE® eco series products are also produced according to this biomass balance method. The production process completely uses certified non-petrochemical methanol based on straw or grass clippings to replace petrochemical methanol.
Now that the market is paying more and more attention to climate protection and sustainable development, WACKER's environmentally friendly silicone products will win customers a key competitive advantage.
