Silicone products

Kurt Obermeier GmbH has been a competent partner for the development, manufacture and sale of special chemical products since 1948. With the help of our in-house laboratory we are happy to advise you on any technical questions.

Furthermore we also offer our customers joint product development in order to manufacture tailor-made products for you.

We see ourselves as real “problem solvers” and can draw on a broad experience from a wide variety of applications and industries as well as a very extensive product portfolio.

In addition to our laboratory and our inside sales department our external sales persons in Germany, Austria, Switzerland and the BeNeLux countries are available for a personal consultation.

KORASILON® Defoamer

In some industrial processes foam is desired and necessary, but troublesome in many applications and to be avoided at all costs.

Kurt Obermeier GmbH & Co. KG offers a wide range of defoamers from various manufacturers and from proprietary developments.

  • Technical application advice is as part of the package as onsite plant trials.
  • There is also a modern fully-equipped lab for extensive trials.
  • Immediate samplings of potential defoamers enable you to effectively and cost-effectively take control of your foam problem.


Kurt Obermeier GmbH provides customised defoamer solutions for a wide variety of (process) technical issues.

Our range of silicone defoamers is characterised by lower application quantities compared to mineral oil-based defoamers. The most modern silicone defoamers based on organically modified siloxanes exhibit improved compatibility with organic systems.

Our silicone defoamers comprise the following:

Silicone-based defoamers

  • 100 % defoamers
    for use in formulations (e.g. cleaners, adhesives, detergents) as processing aids (distillation processes, process water, wastewater) or for the production of defoamer emulsions
     
  • Defoamer emulsions
    with a wide range of applications, including the areas of food technology, and biotechnology (FDA, Kosher, etc.), as process aids in pharmaceuticals and with special acid or alkali resistance and according to Regulation (EC) No 648/2004 (detergents regulation)
     
  • Solvent-based defoamers
     
  • Defoamers based on organically modified siloxanes
    Silicone-containing defoamers, which do not show typical incompatibility to silicone; for use in cooling lubricants, paints and coatings, electroplating and pickling solutions, or other silicone-critical applications.

KORASILON® Fluids

We market polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) and organically modified PDMS fluids under the name KORASILON®. By clicking on the PDF icon, you can obtain product information on individual fluids from the following categories.

Because of their inorganic Si-O chemical bonding, polydimethylsiloxanes are in many ways comparable in their resistance with the chemically inert behaviour of silicate minerals.

PDMS fluids are available in a viscosity range from 0.65 to 30,000,000 mm²/s and due to its variety of applications it is impossible to imagine our modern production without them.

KORASILON® Oil emulsions

Various problems can be experienced in the use of silicone oils, for example when a thin film of particularly high-viscosity silicone oils should be applied. For industrial hygiene and/or safety reasons, dilution with solvents can be excluded under certain circumstances. In these cases the active agent can be applied in emulsion form.

Silicone oil emulsions can be freely mixed with water and in many cases offer advantages in the application and processing. We not only offer you excellent already existing products in this field, but also our experience in application technology and production to find the optimal solution to your problem.

Oil emulsions – overview

Among others, silicone oil emulsions are used as:

Release agents

  • Rubber and plastics industry
  • Pressure die casting, precision casting
  • Food packaging

Lubricating agents

  • Gasket profiles (building/automotive industry)
  • Web offset printing (printing industry)
  • Rubber and plastics industry

Lubricants

  • As a base or additive

Hydrophobing

  • Glass or mineral wool
  • Textiles, leather

Impregnation

  • Masonry protection agent (refer to KORATECT® silicone masonry protection)

Textile finishing

  • Hydrophobic or hydrophilic Plasticiser an finishing agent, yarn lubricating agents

Polishes and care products

  • Leather, painted surfaces, wood surfaces

KORASILON® Pastes

Besides the standard polydimethylsiloxane-based pastes, we also offer pastes based on organically modified siloxanes with organic or inorganic fillers.
Organically modified siloxane pastes are characterised by improved compatibility on surfaces, e.g. better recoatability, bonding, etc.
 
As opposed to silicone oils, pastes offer higher stability and adhesion to surfaces even in high temperature ranges.

Applications are for example

KORASILON® Release agents

Release agents are still indispensable aids with among others the following uses:

  • Mould release agents
  • Lubricating agents
  • Lubricants and
  • Installation aids

Our wide range of silicone-containing / silicone-free, water-based / solvent-based and hardening / non-hardening release agents allows us to find the optimal solution for every separation problem. Our KORASILON® Release agents are easy and economical to apply and are characterised by rapid and sustained release effect without residues.

Following is a brief overview of our most important release agents. Depending on requirements, product variations or customer specific developments are possible in order to obtain the optimal solution to your separation problem.

KORATECT® Silicone masonry protection

Moisture is the main cause of almost all damage to mineral building materials.

Our KORATECT® Masonry protection products provide hydrophobic protection to various substrates from and significantly reduce water absorption and the absorption of pollutants dissolved in it.

Thus, structural damage such as

  • Corrosion of reinforced steel
  • Efflorescence
  • Salt breakout
  • Frost/de-icing salt damage
  • Algae, moss and mould infestation
     

is significantly reduced.

Through the treatment with KORATECT® Masonry protection agents the diffusion capability/breathability of the building material is retained and the moisture can escape from the inside out. The use of KORATECT® Masonry protection agents provide long-lasting and effective protection against structural damage, without changing the surface texture of the substrates.

Special products

KORASILON® Silicone remover

KORASILON® Silicone Remover are used for the effective removal of silicone compounds. They are able to dissolve silicone compounds and thus significantly facilitate removal. These products are particularly suitable for typical room-temperature-curing silicone rubbers, which are used, for example, in numerous joint sealants.

KORASILON® Additive PS

KORASILON® Additive PS are a series of different polyethersiloxanes in high quality. Due to their special chemical structure, they combine silicone-typical properties with actually opposing properties and thus offer unique advantages. Incorporated into formulations, they reduce surface tension and thus contribute to excellent wetting of surfaces.

KORASILON® Hydrophobing agents

Our KORASILON® Hydrophobiermittel are based on modified polysiloxanes and are formulated to be completely fluorine-free. Unlike other commercially available products, they do not contain perfluorocarbon resins or similar per/polyfluorinated alkyl compounds. Hydrophobing thus enables the simple, fluorine-free and water-repellent finishing of a wide variety of substrates and textiles.

Cleaning and care productes

For the area of cleaning and care products, we offer a large number of different products. In addition to silicone-containing and silicone-free defoamers for controlling foam formation in surfactant-containing solutions, our oil emulsions are also of interest, which can contribute to colour deepening and refreshing, gloss improvement and better polishability of formulations, among other things. Furthermore, we can provide selected surfactants, complexing agents, dispersing aids and phosphonates for use in cleaning and care products.

General/Industry data sheets

The quality of our products is guaranteed by experienced specialists, cutting-edge laboratory facilities, appropriate production facilities and years of practical experience.

This puts us in a position to implement customised solutions on request in the shortest turnaround time possible.
