With its VINNAPAS® dispersible polymer powders, WACKER has been the global market and technology leader for over 50 years in the field of polymeric binders for modifying cementitious systems.
More than a million metric tons of VINNAPAS®polymer powders have been sold worldwide since they were first launched. The main applications of polymer-modified premixed mortars are construction and tile adhesives, exterior insulation and finish systems, self-leveling mortars and grouts, as well as plasters and repair mortars.
WACKER pioneered powder-form polymeric binders for the construction industry as early as 1957. This technology revolutionized working methods in the sector, providing the first-ever one-pack polymer-modified cementitious system. It only required water to be added on site. To this day, the system still represents a much simpler way of working, with substantial cost advantages.
The benefits that dispersible polymer powders bestow on the end product include easier processing, excellent anchorage to all substrates, increased flexibility and flexural strength, and enhanced weathering resistance. Another advantage is that VINNAPAS®dispersible polymer powders do not contain plasticizers or film-forming aids, and therefore have low emissions levels.
