Carpet

VINNAPAS® dispersions based on vinyl acetate-ethylene (VAE) copolymers satisfy all the technical requirements for carpet-backing applications, both residential and commercial. They are suitable for tufted-carpet broadloom and tile production, as well as needlefelt and woven applications. In addition, VAE copolymer dispersions excel in their low odor and low emissions properties, and in their superior flame resistance. VINNAPAS® VAE dispersions are available as VINNAPAS® eco polymer dispersions based on renewable resources.

Benefits:

  • Low odor
  • Low emissions
  • Low flammability, reduced smoke formation
  • Good filler loading capacity
  • Excellent foamability
  • Excellent processability
  • Broad variety of formulations
  • Good tuft binding
  • Good delamination
  • Superior cut-edge stability
  • Reliable dimensional stability
  • Soft to stiff handfeel
  • Also available as VINNECO® grades based on renewable resources

Applications:

  • Tufted broadloom carpet backings

Carpet – WACKER ACADEMY Seminars

The product life of carpets is critically dependent on the anchor coat. Other important properties include low emissions and superior flame resistance. And this is precisely the strength of WACKER’s unique, high-quality binders, which, among other benefits, do an excellent job of helping carpets resist wear. Experience all of that for yourself in WACKER ACADEMY seminars.
