already exhibit the first results of the partnership. “Both companies are experts and
possess unique knowledge around how to formulate and process thermally conductive silicones — Wacker in the field of liquid systems, Fuji Polymer in ready-to-use components,” says Chris- tian Gimber, head of engineering sili- cones at Wacker Silicones. “In the fu- ture, we will intensify our collabora- tion in order to be able to develop inno- vative materials that meet the con- stantly growing demands of the elec- tronics and automotive industries. The collaboration we have now embarked on will go far beyond this expo.” Electronic devices and batteries
generate a great deal of heat that im- pacts their functionality and service life and can lead to serious faults. Effi- cient thermal management is becom- ing increasingly essential in many ap- plications, such as in consumer elec- tronics and electric vehicles. For improved thermal manage-
ment of components, the industry is increasingly turning to heat-dissipa- tion materials. “Our thermally con- ductive silicones can be processed very efficiently, but that is not the only benefit of silicones. They also meet the stringent and rising safety and reliability requirements imposed by the electronics and automotive in- dustries,” says Gimber. Fuji Polymer Industries will also
benefit from the development partner- ship. “We have been very much look- ing forward to this collaboration, which is very important for us. Wack- er’s technical expertise is an invalu- able resource and is extremely helpful when developing new products,” says board member Mitsuhiro Fujimoto. Fuji Polymer Industries will al-
so use Wacker’s “Based on ELAS- TOSIL®” logo for branding its high- end silicone-based thermal interface materials. “This co-branding is an-
other significant benefit for the com- pany in terms of quality awareness,” emphasizes Fujimoto. “The partner- ship with Wacker is therefore a gen- uine win-win situation for us and fills us with a great deal of pride.” Wacker Silicones business divi- sion is one of the largest silicone man-

ufacturers worldwide, with over 2,800 highly specialized and innovative products. The division’s portfolio ranges from silicone fluids, emulsions, resins, elastomers, and sealants to silanes, silane-terminated polymers and pyrogenic silica. These stand out due to their significant value-adding potential — enhancing both the bene- fits and performance of customers’ end products. Wacker Silicones’ products find application in such sec- tors as automotive engineering, con- struction, chemicals, cosmetics, med- ical technology, energy and electron- ics, and paper and textiles. Fuji Polymer Industries is a
specialist in the design, formulation and production of high-performance thermal interface materials, electri- cal elastomeric connectors, cus- tomized silicone extrusions, and uniquely fabricated silicone products for the electrical, electronics and au- tomotive industries. The company’s product portfolio includes electrical connector systems, light guide ele- ments, extruded and press-molded parts, as well as thermally conduc- tive materials made from silicone.
