The new VAE-based dispersion VINNAPAS^® EF8181 allows for the for-mulation of high-quality low-emission and low-odor interior paints.

Chemical company WACKER is showcasing BELSIL^® PF 200 at in-cosmetics Brazil. The novel phenyl silicone fluid features a high refractive index and can be used for water based formulations.

WACKER’s nature-identical hydroxytyrosol offers effective UV protection for skin and hair, thus reducing skin aging as well as color-fading and bleaching of hair. This makes HTEssence^® ideal for the formulation of high-quality anti-aging creams, hair masks or leave-in conditioners.

The new 3D process of Munich-based WACKER operates with extreme precision. The printer robot produces structures with a line width of 0.6 millimeters. The silicone is placed drop by drop, and is immediately firm after application. That enables extremely precise contours to be produced.

The WACKER 3D process works like an ink-jet printer: the nozzle deposits a drop of silicone precisely at the point determined by the computer program (images 4a and 4b), generating a molded three-dimensional silicone part layer by layer from the virtual drawing (images 4c and 4d).
