Wacker Intensifies Collaboration with Russian Silicone Producer
Wacker, the Munich-based chemical company, and Russian silicone producer Penta 91 are intensifying their collaboration in the Russian market. Penta 91 will immediately start selling Wacker’s hot- and cold-curing two-component silicones in addition to the existing solid silicone rubber grades. The company has already been manufacturing special silicone compounds using WACKER materials for the Russian market since 2008. These ready-to-use compounds will now be sold under Penta’s brand name PENTASIL® and labelled “Based on ELASTOSIL®”. The ELASTOSIL® brand covers a wide range of high-quality silicone products from Wacker. Customers of silicone compounds include the automotive, construction, electronics, cable and household goods industries.
Based in Moscow, the silicone producer Penta 91 has been the official sales partner for ELASTOSIL® solid silicone rubber grades in the Russian Federation since as early as 2003. As agreed, Penta 91 may now also distribute high- (HTV) and room-temperature-crosslinking (RTV) silicone rubber grades as well as the liquid silicone rubber grades ELASTOSIL®, POWERSIL®, SEMICOSIL® and CENUSIL®. Penta may also apply the “Based on ELASTOSIL®“ label for its own PENTASIL® series, when processing silicones from Wacker. Silicone compounds are particularly found in segments such as power transmission and distribution, electronics, automotive, cable, household appliances, mechanical engineering, and medical technology.
