Burghausen - Historic Spraydryer
The first spray dryer for VINNAPAS® polymer powders went on stream at WACKER’s parent plant in Burghausen in 1957. The facility produced 1,200 metric tons per year. To date, over 1 million metric tons of powder have been sold, and in summer 2007, WACKER Burghausen will commission the world’s largest plant with an annual capacity of 30,000 tons.

Sample of an EIFS
Sample of an exterior insulation and finish system (EIFS). Only the use of VINNAPAS® polymer powders in the adhesive and undercoat mortars makes possible a permanent bond between the insulating polystyrene board and the wall, thus creating a stable yet flexible system.

Tile adhesive - thin-bed technique
Today’s routine thin-bed technique was enabled by tile adhesives containing VINNAPAS®. The benefits include far less needed material and significantly lower costs, as well as time savings and simpler handling thanks to enhanced flexibility and a longer open time.
