What Do Polymers Do in Mortar?

Dispersible polymer powders are used worldwide to make buildings more durable. But what exactly is the contribution of polymer binders to this process? This film takes you on a short three-minute journey inside a cementitious tile adhesive to demonstrate how polymers improve adhesion, flexibility and impact resistance.

Our Climate Researchers

How do renders react long-term to climatic influences? What is the highest or lowest temperature at which a formulation can be applied without loss of performance? Is a tile adhesive flexible enough to cope with temperature fluctuations? Our experts at the Burghausen technical competence center give you the answers.

Excellence Made in Burghausen

What makes for really good building materials? Excellent raw materials, of course. But, above all, a great deal of expertise and experience. WACKER has a home for all these: its technical competence center for construction polymers in Burghausen. Here, we have been working to find the best formulation for each individual customer since 1957.
