Ambitious Climate-Protection Measures

Most experts agree that the next generation of cars will be electric. The advancement of electromobility is at the top of the automotive industry’s agenda. Various obstacles need to be overcome, however, before electric cars can be mass-produced. A key aspect is how to protect sensitive automotive electronics from overheating.

Thanks to their low weight and space-saving packaging, polymer binders for wall paints in powder form reduce CO₂ emissions during shipment.

WACKER and Dubai Municipality demonstrate energy-saving, internationally standardized construction technologies in action with two model houses.

Quartz is the starting material for the production of hyperpure polysilicon, the most important raw material for photovoltaics. Between quartz and hyperpure polysilicon lie not only a number of highly complex working steps that are, technically speaking, extremely sophisticated – but also, in the case of WACKER, over 50 years of experience. All combining to produce the best polysilicon available on the market.

In VINNAPAS^® eco dispersible polymer powders, WACKER is now offering polymers that are based on acetic acid derived from wood waste.

With ELASTOSIL^® eco, sustainable building is possible across the entire life cycle – from production right up to the finished building.

the rotor blades – as much as 80 meters long in newer on-shore wind turbines – consist of two half-shells bonded firmly together with reinforcement elements, known as shear webs. These adhesive bonds are capable of transmitting the powerful forces that arise during turbine operation.
