Architectural Paints and Coatings – WACKER ACADEMY Seminars

What advantages and opportunities do WACKER silicones and polymeric binders offer for architectural paints and coatings? In WACKER ACADEMY seminars, we dive deep into that central question and show you how to use our products to their fullest potential.

Architectural Paints and Coatings in Theory and Practice

The paints and coatings industry is subject to tough demands: products have to meet high expectations for quality and performance, while, at the same time, meeting environmental and safety standards. WACKER has developed many innovative solutions in this area that not only meet the toughest demands – they also set new benchmarks.

WACKER ACADEMY offers you a one-of-a-kind range of seminars. We put our diverse portfolio at your disposal, offering you the knowledge we have collected over decades of experience. In addition to general introductions to silicone and polymer chemistry, our courses also shed light on the many opportunities that silicones and polymeric binders provide – all with an eye to your products and projects.
