Hoisting the premix tank into the production building. At WACKER’s main site in Burghausen, we manufacture dispersions and dispersible polymer powders, which find use as binders in sectors such as construction, coatings and adhesives. With the new 60,000-metric-ton dispersion reactor, WACKER is strengthening its position as a market and technology leader in this field

The new dispersion PRIMIS^® SAF 9000 ensures permanently clean walls, as can be seen by a direct comparison – while the left-hand surface was painted with a conventional interior paint, the right-hand surface has been treated with a paint containing PRIMIS^® SAF 9000: Even lipstick can be completely removed from the treated wall (right bottom), while the untreated surface still shows visible stains after cleaning (left bottom).

SILRES^® REN70-M is a highly heat-resistant binder, making it suitable for coating mufflers, engine parts, stoves or incinerators

HDK^® H30RM and HDK^® H30LM are ideal as rheology additives for automotive clear coats. They exhibit excellent transparency in surface coatings and are entirely PDMS-free, so that crater-free clear coats can be applied .

At the European Coatings Show 2017, WACKER is presenting four specialty grades of HDK^® pyrogenic silica. Applications range from rheology control in high-quality surface coatings, basic systems, adhesives and sealants to enhanced property profiles of nail gels and dental filling compounds.
