Technical Center Middle East & Africa

Take advantage of support by specialists

Whether for new applications, changing customer expectations, growing competition or new governmental regulations, nearly all industries are forced to continuously optimize their products and processes today. This is why we have established a technical center in Dubai with extensive lab capatcities for different industries.

Work with Seasoned Experts

Use Our Worldwide Experience

With our Technical Centers around the world, we work side-by-side with customers on new applications or to adapt products to regionally distinctive requirements. As the inventors of dispersible polymer powders, the leader in the market for polymer binders, and the holder of thousands of patents across sectors, WACKER can draw on a century of R&D and unparalleled applications consulting.

The Dubai Technical Center was established in 2001 and accredited in 2007. It is a highly specialized, applications-focused lab, supporting customers from the Middle East and Africa. We are ISO 17025 certified, which allows us to be recognized worldwide for testing coatings, adhesives and elastomer products. Our experts put their extensive knowledge and state-of-the-art test methods to work for you, developing value-adding products and formulations for various aspects of construction, paints, coatings & consumer care.

Cement & Concrete Lab

A new competence center for cement and concrete applications in Dubai is seeking to develop silicone products that will strive to improve the properties and durability of cement and concrete, with a special focus on performance-enhancing silicone additives. The goal is to provide innovative products and solutions that contribute toward the sustainable growth of the global construction-materials industry. Due to the nature of silicone-based additives, they have excellent compatibility with cement. This effect will help us to offer a variety of solutions tailored specifically for new types of cement. We use standard EN and ASTM methods to test and evaluate the efficiency of innovative products in our laboratories.

Adhesives Lab

Adhesives are indispensable for many applications in construction. Our ISO 17025 certified adhesives lab performs tests on adhesives such as liquid resins, emulsions or dispersions. State-of-the-art test methods provide reliable results and are the basis for further customization and optimization.

Certified Testing Methods

Does your product meet local requirements? Is it suitable for the specific climatic conditions? Does its formulation have to be adapted to the raw materials of the region?

A team of highly-trained specialists provides technical support, answers questions on formulations, provides training for customers’ technical personnel and cooperates closely with official standardization institutes.

At the Dubai Technical Center, all finishing construction applications, interior and exterior coatings, adhesives and carpet, as well as elastomers, can be tested for their behavior under real conditions. Here and at the WACKER MYLAB in Johannesburg, South Africa, experts apply test procedures in accordance with EN and ISO standards, as well as tests developed in-house.

Supporting standardization in the region

We started an innovative project together with Dubai Central Laboratories in Dubai to study how construction chemicals help make buildings more sustainable. Located in Dubai at the premises of DCL, this project aims to promote internationally recognized construction standards and techniques at a regional level, with an eye toward the broader picture of natural resource conservation and prolonged sustainability.
