Self-leveling flooring and troweling compounds modified with VINNAPAS^® produce an extraordinarily smooth, even and fine pored surface (left), as opposed to formulations without or with conventional binders (right). Even a small amount of VINNAPAS^® significantly enhances abrasion resistance, tensile strength in bending as well as compressive strength and provides crack-free setting

An applications engineer in Burghausen tests the spreading and leveling properties of polymer-modified flooring compounds. Self-leveling flooring compounds and underlayments containing VINNAPAS^® produce very smooth and crater-free surfaces characterized by flexibility, good adhesion to all substrates and crack-free hardening. The surface is abrasion resistant, load resistant and can be walked on soon after installation.

Taking a sample from a wall treated with a coating containing cyclodextrin fragrance complexes. By molecular inclusion in cyclodextrin, for the first time, essential oils and other fragrances can be used in plasters, paints and other coatings.

Model of cyclodextrin fragrance complexes in wall paints: The ring-shaped sugar molecules can host fragrances in their inner cavity. Set off by moisture, they are released to their surrounding in a controlled manner.

Insulation systems can be easily implemented when renovating old houses and brickwork and thus retrofit a high level of thermal insulation
