At the European Coatings Show 2017, WACKER is presenting four specialty grades of HDK^® pyrogenic silica. Applications range from rheology control in high-quality surface coatings, basic systems, adhesives and sealants to enhanced property profiles of nail gels and dental filling compounds.

GENIOSIL^® XM 25, a gamma-silane-terminated polyether, allows the formulation of low-modulus sealants with exceptionally high elastic recovery. Potential applications include sealants for expansion joints in buildings made of industrially prefabricated concrete parts.

At the European Coatings Show, WACKER, the Munich-based chemical group, is showcasing GENIOSIL^® XM 20 – an alpha-silane-terminated polyether that allows the formulation of plasticizer-free adhesives with extremely high elasticity. Typical applications include wood-flooring adhesives and all-round adhesive sealants

The low-viscosity binder VINNOL^® E 18/38 ensures excellent droplet formation in ink-jet inks with high resolution and brilliant colors even at high print speed. VINNOL^® E 18/38 adheres extremely well to numerous substrates, making it ideal for printing on cables, packaging or large-scale advertising banners

Outdoor weathering tests: The new VINNAPAS^® 760 ED dispersion is ideal for flexible two-component sealing slurries for creating permanent, hard-wearing seals in damp rooms, such as kitchens and bathrooms, as well as for water pipes and sewers.
