VINNAPAS^{^®} Surface

Self-leveling flooring and troweling compounds modified with VINNAPAS^{^®} produce an extraordinarily smooth, even and fine pored surface (left), as opposed to formulations without or with conventional binders (right). Even a small amount of VINNAPAS^{^®} significantly enhances abrasion resistance, tensile strength in bending as well as compressive strength and provides crack-free setting

VINNAPAS^{^®} SLC test

An applications engineer in Burghausen tests the spreading and leveling properties of polymer-modified flooring compounds. Self-leveling flooring compounds and underlayments containing VINNAPAS^{^®} produce very smooth and crater-free surfaces characterized by flexibility, good adhesion to all substrates and crack-free hardening. The surface is abrasion resistant, load resistant and can be walked on soon after installation.

Cyclodextrins model

Model of cyclodextrin fragrance complexes in wall paints: The ring-shaped sugar molecules can host fragrances in their inner cavity. Set off by moisture, they are released to their surrounding in a controlled manner.
