Product test: an employee checks panels coated with VAE-based interior archi-tectural paints drying on a rack. The new VAE dispersion VINNAPAS^® EP 3360 enables the formulation of high-performance interior paints with reduced emissions.

CAVAMAX^® W6 alphadextrin is an ideal water-soluble dietary fiber for innovative baked goods – from cakes, muffins, waffles and pancakes through to gluten-free bread – that do not need any egg or egg powder.

WACKER’s new POWERSIL^® 403 silicone rubber dispersion helps make sleeves for transmission and distribution cables safe to operate for long periods of time. The dispersion, which contains no aromatics, forms a conductive film on the insulating silicone, protecting the material from electrostatic charging. POWERSIL^® 403 is flexible and resists abrasion. Sleeves that have been coated in this way can be shipped in their extended state and installed on cable connectors on site using cold-shrink processes
