Here to collaborate: let’s discuss solutions for a better tomorrow
What trends and topics are moving the construction, coatings and adhesives industries? Where do we stand – and where are we heading in the future? Let’s meet and discuss how we can connect and collaborate to create tomorrow’s solutions.
We're here for you: at European Coatings Show 2025 in Nuremberg from March 25 to 27, booth 206 in hall 1.
Arrange an appointmentHere to share: discover our innovative ideas and sustainable solutions
At WACKER, we are convinced that knowledge and ideas – when shared – can change the world and create new opportunities and prospects. Let’s use the European Coatings Show 2025 as an opportunity to discuss our innovative ideas and forward-looking strategies for the coatings, construction and adhesives industries.
Here are some of the topics we would like to share with you:
The polymer resin binder with enhanced solubility
Our VINNOL® L-6868 polymer resin binder has the lowest viscosity within our VINNOL® family and is compatible with a wide range of UV monomers and reactive diluents. The product’s most notable characteristic is its very good solubility in all kinds of solvents. Thanks to its very low molecular weight, VINNOL® L-6868 binder represents the optimal solution for formulators dealing with challenges relating to flow properties, intercoat adhesion and flexibility in UV-curing systems. Use VINNOL® L-6868 for your solvent-borne coatings, printing inks, high-solids and UV-curing systems or to formulate wood, paper, and film coatings.
Do you want to know how you can benefit from VINNOL® L-6868? We’re here to explain!

Our new solid resin binder with less GHG emissions
In VINNOL® H 15/45 M (Renewable Energy), we offer you an opportunity to improve your product carbon footprint. The use of renewable energy sources reduces the amount of greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions during production. As a result, VINNOL® H 15/45 M (Renewable Energy) has a 19% lower carbon footprint than its conventional counterpart. VINNOL® H 15/45 M (Renewable Energy) is suitable for heat-sealing, industrial coatings and printing inks. It does not differ in any respect from the properties and quality of the conventional grade and can be used immediately as a drop-in solution.
Do you want to know how to integrate VINNOL® H 15/45 efficiently into your production processes? We’re here to show you!

The silicone sealant that combines sustainability and performance
ELASTOSIL® eco 7770 P is our new ready-to-use silicone sealant setting new standards in terms of sustainability and performance. It requires very little fungicide and is part of the first silicone sealant generation produced with up to 100% fossil-free raw materials: in line with the mass balance approach, methanol in the production process is replaced by biomethanol from sustainably certified biomass. ELASTOSIL® eco 7770 P covers a wide range of applications and excels in contact with natural stone. The cured product exhibits excellent mechanical properties.

Our next-generation alpha3 technology for high-performance STP-E-based sealants and adhesives
In GENIOSIL® STP-E, we offer high-quality hybrid polymers for the formulation of elastic sealants and adhesives that meet today's requirements, both ecologically and technically. Our STP-E technology comprises a new selection of silane-terminated polymers, which exhibit several unparalleled properties. Its low viscosity facilitates easy processing and provides ample room for the formulation of adhesives and sealants with high curing rate, excellent adhesion and good overpaintability. In GENIOSIL® STP-E140 and GENIOSIL® STP-E340, we have launched the next STP-E generation alpha3 for tin-free yet highly flexible facade sealants and high-performance adhesives.
Would you like to discover a world of unlimited opportunity with the next STP-E generation? We’re here to reveal!

Advanced polymers for tile adhesives with composite cements
Approximately 8% of global CO2 emissions are caused by the cement industry. To reduce CO2 emissions, the cement industry is cutting the cement clinker content significantly. However, new composite cement types can pose challenges to mortar performance, such as diminished tensile adhesion strength after immersion in water.
Our recent tests on an existing formulation for a tile adhesive classified as C2TE according to EN 12004 show that these performance issues can be overcome by using advanced dispersible polymer powders with a hydrophobic polymer backbone. Examples of such advanced polymer powders are VINNAPAS® 8118 E, 8620 E and 7220 E.
And just as our comprehensive VINNAPAS® portfolio enables the use of composite cements in high-performance dry mortar formulations, significantly reducing their carbon footprint without sacrificing performance, we will strive to be part of other sustainable solutions for the future.
Do you want to find out how VINNAPAS® dispersible polymer powders can contribute to your sustainability goals? We’re here to discuss.

Insect-repellent paints and coatings
Insect repellents that deter insects from landing, climbing or remaining on a surface can help prevent and control the outbreak of insect-borne diseases. In CAVAMAX® and CAVASOL®, we offer a solution for developing a product that meets growing consumer concerns about the use of “harsh” chemicals and the need for greener, natural alternatives that are just as effective. CAVAMAX® and CAVASOL® cyclodextrins are capable of encapsulating other organic molecules in a reversible, equilibrium-controlled process. This allows encapsulated essential oils to be added to water-borne paints and coatings to give them a long-lasting insect repellent effect.
Do you want to find out how your coatings and customers can benefit from CAVAMAX® and CAVASOL® cyclodextrins? We’re here to let you know!

Our hardener for next-generation epoxy-polysiloxane topcoats
At ECS 2025, we’re unveiling our advanced silicone resin hardener for epoxy-polysiloxane topcoats: SILRES® HP 2000 LV. Designed for durability and sustainability, this low-volatiles product grade enables the formulation of isocyanate-free metal coatings that retain their gloss even after years of weathering. Its reduced volatile content enhances occupational health and safety while eliminating previously required labeling. SILRES® HP 2000 LV can also be used to formulate high-solids coatings with lower solvent demand and extended maintenance intervals – ideal for meeting the growing need for sustainable coatings.
Do you want to see SILRES® HP 2000 LV in action? We’re here to demonstrate!
