The Munich-based Wacker Group has expanded its production capacity for functional silicone fluids at its Burghausen site.
With the new expansion stage, which came on stream in early January, Wacker is meeting the rising global demand for speciality fluids and silicone emulsions in the coatings, paper, textile, cosmetics and personal care industries. Investments in the expansion amount to around €26M and will increase production capacity by around 70%. At the plant the precursor siloxane and other raw materials are used to make highly specialised functional silicone fluids.
