Sealing slurries modified with VINNAPAS^® LL 4040 N are extremely flexible and elastic, as well as crack resistant and water repellent. These properties make them ideal for application in baths and pool/spa facilities, in basements or as coatings for pipes and sewers

Cementitious water proofing membranes containing VINNAPAS^® provide strong and long-term protection against water leakage or damage due to water penetration (left box), unlike conventional formulations (right box).

The 16-km long Alz canal in Burghausen (Germany) was renovated and sealed using polymer-modified sealing slurries to prevent water leakage.

Today’s routine thin-bed technique was enabled by tile adhesives containing VINNAPAS^®. The benefits include far less needed material and significantly lower costs, as well as time savings and simpler handling thanks to enhanced flexibility and a longer open time.

The first spray dryer for VINNAPAS^® polymer powders went on stream at WACKER’s parent plant in Burghausen in 1957. The facility produced 1,200 metric tons per year. To date, over 1 million metric tons of powder have been sold, and in summer 2007, WACKER Burghausen will commission the world’s largest plant with an annual capacity of 30,000 tons.
