Polymer Binders – Chemistry That Holds Our World Together
Tiles on the Rise
Tiles are on trend globally. And as their sales increase, so does the choice: modern tiles are made of porcelain, glass, composites or synthetic materials. They look like wood, natural stone or concrete, and come in all shapes and sizes – from tiny mosaic tiles to oversized XXL formats. What does this mean for tile installers? Stay flexible!
Biopolymers That Stand Up to Everyday Demands
The future belongs to bioplastics – a term referring to biopolymers that are either manufactured from renewable raw materials or that are biodegradable.
Which Colors Go with Which Megatrends?
Colors set and follow trends – and it’s not just about design. Megatrends, such as convenience and sustainability, also determine how wall paints are formulated and produced.
If Walls Could Speak
Walls define rooms, create boundaries and offer protection. Sometimes we find ourselves wondering what goes on behind them. But do we know what goes into them? We usually don’t give this a second thought. And yet, what walls are made of is important for our safety, our well-being and even for climate protection.
Certified Alternative
In VINNAPAS® eco dispersible polymer powders, WACKER is now offering polymers that are based on acetic acid derived from wood waste.
Our polymer binders and additives make building materials more efficient, paints more brilliant, adhesives more effective and coatings more resistant. They also improve the mechanical properties of bioplastics. Globally, these polymeric all-rounders are used by many industries to make their products future-proof and more sustainable.
