Since the early 1960s, WACKER has been developing polymer solutions that continue to define global standards to this day. Our VAE dispersions, dispersible polymer powders and solid resins have made us a global leader in the supply of high-performance, sustainable binders.

“All over the world, construction is becoming more and more sustainable, durable and energy-efficient. Our polymer binders are a very important key to success here.”
Peter Summo, Head of Polymers

Polymers for strong bonding

Polymer binders and additives are indispensable: they bind the pigments responsible for colors and provide the essential grip for adhesives and plasters. They improve flexibility in bioplastics. Polymer binders from WACKER are true all-rounders: they improve adhesion, flexibility and durability, while also helping to reduce CO2 emissions.

Tiles on the rise

Tiles are on trend globally. And as sales increase, so does the choice: Modern tiles are made of porcelain, porcelain stoneware, glass, composite materials and plastic. They look like wood, natural stone or concrete, and come in all shapes and sizes – from tiny mosaic tiles to oversized XXL formats. What does this mean for tile installers? Stay flexible!

If walls could speak

Walls define rooms, create boundaries and offer protection. Sometimes we find ourselves wondering what goes on behind them. But do we know what goes into them? We usually don’t give this a second thought. And yet, what walls are made of is important for our safety, our well-being and even for climate protection.
