Architectural Coatings

WACKER provides the paints and coatings industry with decades of experience, renowned R&D, extensive technical services and a uniquely broad portfolio that includes both polymer dispersions and silicone-based solutions. In the 1950s WACKER, as a pioneer in silicone chemistry, developed the first silicone-resin paints based on SILRES^® silicone resins, and the company continues to be a market leader in this field. VINNAPAS^® polymer dispersions have been technology drivers for over 75 years. VINNAPAS^® vinyl acetate-ethylene (VAE) grades and PRIMIS^® acrylate-based specialty dispersions point the way to tomorrow’s solutions. VINNAPAS^® eco is our product line for polymer dispersions based on renewable resources. Under the NEXIVA^® brand we offer polymeric binders for coatings in powder form.

Interior Paints & Coatings

For exterior paints, WACKER offers solutions based on silicone chemistry, organic chemistry and the combination of both.
Exterior Paints
Our silicone-based masonry water repellents provide the most effective protection against moisture decay by forming an extremely stable, and thus highly durable, three-dimensional silicone resin network, which repels liquid water but is permeable to water vapor.
Our VAE co- and terpolymer dispersions are an attractive alternative to conventional acrylic and styrene acrylic systems for outdoor applications allowing to formulate paints that extend the longevity of houses by protecting the substrate.

Fire-Retardant Paints

Primers are essential to ensure longterm stability of layered building systems. WACKER offers solutions from organic and silicone chemistry for different primer functionalities such as hydrophobization of the substrate, consolidation of the substrate or as bonding agent between substrate and coating.
